If by "maintenance reboot", you mean reboot the VM every so many days, just on general principles and just in case, I would say no. You would of course have to reboot after applying patches, etc. (I also try to reboot, whether the patch says it requires it or not. That is a "just to be sure" reboot) Mostly you treat a VM just like you would treat a physical box, at least in terms of maintenance.
