While it's possible to use Pro Tools without a surface, it's not very efficient. Especially in the area of mixing and automation, without a surface, it's either very tedious or impossible to perform certain tasks. There's no simple answer as to whether you should use a control surface. If you're working alone, it's an entirely different story than if you're working with clients. Each user's requirements and resources are going to be unique. If you have doubts, don't get one for now but you'll eventually see that it's much more versatile and efficient and, when the time is right, you'll get a surface.
