Yes, you don't HAVE to reboot it. Same thing for your PC or phone, but all modern software on complex systems with a large OS will have some amount of memory leaks, so it's always a good idea to do an occasional reboot to clear things up. I've seen Tesla uptimes without reboots of over 2 years, but they are usually running like molasses by then.
Comparing the level of compute in a Zoe to the amount in a recent Tesla is like comparing the Apollo Guidance computer to a modern PC. The infotainment (main screen) in a Tesla is, in fact essentially a PC running Linux. The autopilot computer adds a level of compute several orders of magnitude over that.
