Default VFDs and line reactors questions

From what I have read you DO NOT need a line reactor for short runs. Some
writers disagree about what is considered short, but most say ten feet or
less.

I think you are talkign about a LOAD reactor in this case. It is to protect
the motor windings from high voltage and rapid voltage swings from the VFD
OUTPUT. The OP is asking about reactors on the INPUT to the VFD.
