The clutch material wears off because heat spikes "kill" the tranny oil. If you live in a hilly area, or worse, in a hot and hilly area, or if a lot of your driving is traffic bound in the city, you should really consider getting an additional cooler.
On the other hand if you are fussy, and you change the transmission oil every 6 months, then a cooler would be not that necessary.
I'm with Phil, I think the cost of fitting one vs the cost of rebuilding the transmission indicates the risk of going without is too high.
