Not needed. The main advantage of a pushrod suspension is aerodynamic to get the shocks inboard and out of the air on open wheeled cars. This would have no effect on a TC. There are some other interesting things you can do with pushrods but they are mostly benefits for high downforce cars, again no help for a TC. Downside is more unsprung weight and much more complexity.
