No. (Though there maybe some hardware which may require TearFree by default to function correctly, in which case it will be enabled automatically.) The problem is that it increases memory allocation considerably and reduces performance, giving you the same penalty as using a compositor. If you then use a compositor on top, you use even more memory to achieve the same effect. As such it is optional.
