No, maybe it wasn't necessary but it certainly is more comfortable and effecient... In some particular places I used 10+ layers on a single scene. On many of these scenes using track motion, where the layer itself moves, was necessary. Technically yes I could fit all that track motion in the same layer but it'd be all crammed up and too confusing. On those scenes where track motion was not used, I did reuse those layers.
