Congrats on the new surface plate! I use mine more than I ever thought I would.
Like you, I also found that info on the 3-point mounting recommendation and that's how mine is set up now. My dad had bought the 24x36x4 Grade A (and matching steel angle iron stand) from Enco and had it sitting on the four corners for the first few days. I corrected it and showed him the downloaded and printed info about "airy points."
Mine is on a solid mount, with four corner leveling screws. It's a "fixture" in the shop now, storing a lot of weighty items underneath. You'll have tools there too, but at least you'll be able to move it when it's in the way.
