I think there are two different discussions here:

1. There are fixed-back bucket seats, which is typically when you have to move to a 5/6-point harness and possibly a rollbar/half cage. This is certainly the safest option but also makes the car more dedicated to the track.

Or

2. You can install an adjustable-back seat, like Recaro Sportster, which can still recline like a factory seat and has the provision at the base where the 3-point lap belt can correctly pass over and hold you in place.
I am not going to go google rule books so maybe I am wrong about 3-points, specifically. I just assumed by 3-point he meant facotry lap belt with aftermarket seats. That is prohibited but I guess there are aftermarket 3-point harnesses available that may be allowable by some clubs?

Rules vary from club to club as does how strict they are at enforcing the rules. Some tracks impose strict rules on some clubs more than others. It's something for OP to research.
