There is no way in hell that any contest director in the USA would
mandate the use of stealth mode on an anti-collision system if this
reduces its usefulness even the teeniest bit. In the event of a
collision, insurance companies looking to minimize their exposure
through subrogation would hold the CD at least partially responsible
for the accident - spreading the cost to his or the contest's
insurer. This might not be an issue in the rest of the world, but is
sure is here in the USA.

No sensible person would ever mandate stealth mode here!

I get really concerned when people raise legal issues that seem very
tenuous, because may instill a totally unnecessary fear. Are you a
personal liability lawyer, or otherwise experienced in the law of this
sort? If not, perhaps this is just wild guessing, and should be labeled
as such?
