The secondary O2 sensor is for emissions only, it doesn't change your fuel trim any, only the primary does.

If you have no emissions checks and/or the CEL being off isn't a requirement for your inspections, and you can live with the CEL being constantly on, then no, it's not needed - at all. It's simply to ensure that your catalytic converter is working - part of the emissions system.
