It's for legacy authentication protocol used by Jabber, before XMPP
introduced SASL.
See: http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0078.html

Depends, whether you want to support pre-XMPP jabber clients; ones that
does not know SASL yet.

No,

Legacy jabber:iq:auth also supports several methods of authentication,
so you are able to pick and choose them.
