I can create cases where a 100% wide float needs 'clear: left/right/both' to clear previous floats and/or other content, so, yes. Can't see the need for clearing in the case you present, but advice " stress-testing" across browser-land since there may be more to your case than you present here.

In cases where old IE versions create problems caused by clearing, I usually include clearing for all browsers, and override it to 'clear; none' for those old browsers only.
