HTTP cache is not technically required for any configuration (traffic can be redistributed betwen apaches by a load balancer) though of course every MW install will benefit from it and in your case, a wiki running on 3 servers, the benefit will most likely be quite noticeable. One thing you must definitely do in addition to HTTP caching is to make sure that your appservers are sharing their object cache, i.e. Memcached/Redis.
