With the sealing fuel caps on todays cars isn't the evap system needed in order to allow some air into the tank? If you suddenly run out of fuel with 1/2 a tank try unscrewing the fuel cap as you might vacuum lock the fuel system as the fuel level goes down.

The fuel addaptives will correct for it but that gives you less room for error should another lean condition pop up.

It's up to you. Do you want your system to work 100% correctly? If it was me, I would.
