Since I've got a bunch of leaves to deal with several times per year, is
there any reason not to just set my tractor mower up as a mulcher, and leave
it that way both for leaves and mowing?

That's exactly the best way. I run as a mulcher all year round, cuts up the
leaves after a few mowings and provides mulch for the tree. Kinda like
Mother nature does it without the mower.
