I wouldn’t bother with standoffs unless you want the tv farther from the wall. The bolts for the TV mount to the plywood are fine going into the drywall. I’d personally just get some shorter lag bolts though if you can. It’s really no big deal, but the bolt really only has to be long enough to reach through the mount and the plywood.

I’ve done this several times with a machine bolt having the rounded end facing the wall and the nut end securing the mount. Works very well.

And so you do this without stand-offs?

Yeah
