In some uci's, I have seen links put it in e.g usr/local/bin/ and they stay there when unmounted.

is this allowed?

No. Should be self-contained.
It's directory is removed upon unmounting should be it..

I believe the designated place for those links was decided to be in /opt/bin ?

Yes, /opt/bin
And /opt/bin/ should not be in your backup.
