Yes, it’s needed.

For “+” users who have the new software upgrade (Pro+, Elite+) which has
the new Room Light Switching feature: if you use that feature, SpyderUtility is required
to switch profiles in the background if your ambient room light changes. NOTE: This is
true, regardless of the potential (and thanks - I wasn’t aware of this “tip” until you’d
posted it) for having Windows keep the video card LUTs loaded.

For all Windows users (with and without “+”), unless you’re knowledgeable enough
to have followed the instructions in the “tip” above, yes, you do need SpyderUtility
to ensure that your calibration video luts don’t get overwritten.
