It depends on how quickly they are used. If you have access to bags and bags of pecans, say, like we did when my mother-in-law was alive, and she had a bunch of pecan trees, and we had several grocery bagfuls of unshelled pecans, one could not possibly consume all of them quickly; so we shelled and froze a lot of them, and used them for cakes and cookies, or just to take out a bag and enjoy and eat. the oil in them gets rancid if kept at room temperature for long periods of time. Also used them for making candy. I believe this freezing process applies to all types of nuts, not just pecans.

Of course if my family had nuts they were for eating. They were kept on the coffee table with a nut cracker. Refrigeration shouldn't be needed to store nuts.
