Necessary? No. Handy and useful? Yes. Will one make the occasional head check entirely superfluous? No. On upright back swept bars the german mirror RBW sells is great (have two of those). On drop bars (and longer rides with more country road miles) I'm liking the GB mirror from RH in conjunction with a varia 510 rear radar these days. (silly expensive setup. but, if you can pay for it, nice).
I think this is one of those areas where different folks find different things suit them best. So since you are interested, I encourage you to get a reasonably priced one (lots of good suggestions here) and see how you like it. There is nothing like trying for knowing.
