So with my 2020 LTX GT should my back up belt be the XS825 on my TD 250 tune with dalton adjustable? OR should i try TD's Gforce belts on their site? Stay with stock?
Appreciate the help.

If you are properly clutched for an XS825, I'd have one as a spare.

I adjusted their weights for the TD tune per their instructions. Would i have to change anything or be fine fine?

To my knowledge, the XS825 run the lowest RPMs of all the belts. It may rev a few hundred RPM higher with a different belt.

Going from 8jp to ultimax you will have to drop about 5 gram +/- in the primary. If you are set up for ultimax, going to 8jp will peg the rev limiter at wot. Hence, you are better off to keep an ultimax as a spare.I adjusted their weights for the TD tune per their instructions. Would i have to change anything or be fine fine?
That being said, an 8jp will still get you home and sure beats walking, but be advised, sled will not be on point.
TD Eco trail stock muffler will require 66 gram Dalton weights to start IMO.
