It's convenient, but not essential. You don't carry around the wireless charger; you put it somewhere where it would be convenient to set the phone on a regular basis. When I had a phone with wireless charging, the charger was next to my bed. My current phone doesn't charge wirelessly, but I use a magnetically-coupled USB cable with it instead, so I can just yank the phone off the nightstand without damaging the charging port.
