No. EQ, of any kind, may or may not be used.

Are there any circumstances you feel it's essential? I assume there
must be a reason someone came up with it.

Also, I notice in a couple of places elsewhere stated that it's not
useful for live sound because of latency - does that mean linear phase
eq is strictly a software item?

It might be possible to compensate a minimum-phase eq with an all pass
filter, but when it gets to making it adjustable it starts getting
complicated in my foggy view of this.

Scotts example of notching out a feedback howl is a great example of what
linear phase eq is good for.

Kind regards
