No rebuild kit will strengthen that trans.
What kind of use are you talking?
A T5 might be rated for up to 300 HP in a Mustang, but you are going to be 1000 lbs heavier, so hard use is going to be an issue with a T5.

So the M5ODR2 is the Mazda 5-speed, overdrive high-gear transmission in the V6 manual trucks? I doubt you will need a 'stronger' box. What is the new engine out of, or is it a crate engine? I'd guess I would go with the 3.55 rear or even lower. Your truck probably has the 3.31 which is pretty high.

It's a crate engine. I just worry that transmission won't hold up with a more aggressive clutch than the stock one.

It will hold up to a stronger clutch. It may not hold up to your left foot. If you are going to run this thing fairly conservatively, it will be fine. Racing or otherwise beating on it, you will be transmission shopping, plus other drive line items.
