It depends really, putting together an image only requires Lights, but the extra calibration frames help eliminate all the factors that will make your image poor quality and hence your next set of questions about how to fix it. If you are spending the time and effort to capture Lights do yourself and everyone a favour and take darks and flats at least too each time. We dont take them to be annoying. And if you cant be bothered then dont bother with any of it The more you capture the better your data set will be to process from. Ideally you want a full set each session , process each session to a linear result then combine those for multiple sessions. As I said you CAN get away with less but the result will be poor and unfixable.
