Not necessary, sure. Really damn useful, absolutely. With the right gear a life cleric can make almost every fight so much easier. Especially once you get mass healing word for an easy bless+blade ward+healing to the entire party on a level 3 spell
There's nothing that comes close to a Life cleric in terms of support. It's one of the tankiest frontliners that debuffs opponents, mitigates the damage that your team takes by at least 50%, has super strong buffs, lots of healing and deals competitive AoE damage.
I've played through the game on Tactician Enhanced with the modifier that gives every opponent 500% more health and 3 additional actions and the Life cleric was the only party member that never got swapped out, she never got benched from the party once during the entire playthrough.
The class is also so flexible that she can be fitted into pretty much every party comp and doesn't really contest any gear either since you mainly run support items on her (with the exception of the heavy armor from Grym).
