GM says you don't require one. They might know as much as some of our contributors. They are also the ones who wrote the warranty and have a legal interest in your tow vehicle. (The GM engineers, not our contributors)

"Our contributors" have formed opinions based on experience. Gm only has interest in covering their butt.

I'd use it rather than leaving it sit on a shelf. Making sure the receiver can take the tongue weight is reason enough (as stated above) because you might not get around to doing that.
