No

Haha, that's kind of a loaded question

Read this if you want to learn all about it: http://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikviewdesignblog/2013/04/16/synthetic-keys and  Should We Stop Worrying and Love the Synthetic Key?

TLDR would be this: it's not mandatory, but still it's a rather good idea.

It depends.

     Some are perfectly ok, like those created by IntervalMatch

     Some are a symptom of sloppy scripting

     Others are disastrous

So your question is like the infamous "how long is a piece of string ?"
