Clearly not mandatory. On the Cobra, I'v been using Silicone only since the initial build. It has never failed. Althougnh I have changed the thermostat a couple of times in the last 5 years.

On my '66 Mustang, it held up for for about 15 years, until I sold the car. After the initial overhaul, I never removed the thermostat. The original silicone held up all those years.
