Not necessarily (it's usually preferable to use the kernel's IPsec
stack).  Perhaps you just need to load some missing kernel module (see
[1]) or change your ESP proposal because the kernel perhaps does not
support one of the negotiated algorithms.

libipsec is the actual userland IPsec implementation, the
kernel-libipsec plugin is the middleware between IKE daemon and
libipsec.  Enabling kernel-libipsec automatically enables libipsec.
