No.... you don't. The /lib/udev/rules.d has a rule that fully populates the /dev/disk subdirectory with the same name and same information on each boot. This should be everything you need to use fstab directly.
Johnathan, Then I'm not understanding. Here, /run/udev/rules.d/ was empty until I added some. When I reboot this desktop and insert a thumb drive the kernel might see it as /dev/sdg (which is what's in /etc/fstab) or /dev/sdh (which isn't in /etc/fstab.) Thanks, Rich
