I agree with Mike, in most cases its not necessary, however its sure is convenient... You can achieve just as good results using an external guide scope and guide camera... It sometimes will take a little more time and effort in eliminating any flexture etc. I was plagued with flexture when using my C11 due to its moving mirror... getting a self guided camera eliminated the problems...

My thoughts - Adaptive Optics is -THE- best way to guide... AO surpasses any form of normal guiding, as it reacts much much faster than your usual guiding methods.
