As a practical matter, is float mode necessary with solar charging? As an alternative, the controller would simply stop charging when the battery was full. The next day the process would repeat. ...

It is mostly for when using the solar to maintain full batteries when you are not camping in the RV.
Also, when camping you can be in a situation where you get to Absorption Voltage (Vabs) early in the day, and you spend a long time at Vabs before dark, while the batteries "lose water." In that case you might want to reduce to a float voltage after a shorter time at Vabs
