If you are good at navigating the web on uBlock Medium Mode, and are okay doing the initial "troubleshooting," to unbreak first time visits to websites, then you probably do not need it. I mean, most trackers won't run without JS. Also, on Medium mode, you get to see most ad companies' domains which you can then just block Globally. You can also use uBlock's selector tool to remove specific parts of a webpage. I find that I use it a lot to remove cookie prompts and others, like YT prompts. So I can use it without having to sign on and remove the anti-adblock prompts.
Albeit there is some overlap, I use still uBlock on Medium Mode along uMatrix since I need a bit more granular control on the sites I use. On top of LibreRedirect to avoid some of the biggest data miners.
You should be fine.
