Based on what I've seen of Robo Stomp, I've seen no evidence that it affects plants behind the Z-Mech. Even if it does, that means any Z-Mech without the Robo Stomp or a similar ability (such as the Z-7 Mech which has Zomni-blade instead) is very vulnerable to Chompers.

Sure, you could use Missile Madness on rooted plants, but unless you see them rooting, they'll certainly get a lot of shots off first, and deal heavy damage. A single use of Pea Gatling can easily deal, without critical hits, around 800 damage, double the health of a Z-Mech. So half of a Pea Gatling's ammo is enough to destroy a Z-Mech.

And while Explosive Escape works to escape, it also takes a couple of seconds to activate, so if you're taking heavy damage, it's probably possible to die before the explosive escape fully activates, and so you'll still die before escaping.
