You'd need NUMA if you had a NUMA machine. In current context, that

you're probably not running a NUMA machine.
Will a kernel without NUMA support boot and run on a system that has a
NUMA architecture?
If it will boot and run, does it simply do so in a sub-optimal way?
Flipping the coin on the other side, is there any negative effect (other
than kernel size / lines of code / attack surface) for having NUMA
support enabled on a non-NUMA system?
