Firewall mat

I am just starting to piece back together my cab after painting. Old firewall mat has seen much better days... before critters build a house. New ones are like $200.
Am I crazy to consider just buying an adhesive heat shield mat or is there a further purpose aside from heat I should be concerned about. If the truck goes up in fire its not gonna do **** anyways... right?
Thanks
