Will you destroy your engine without one? Probably not. Will each spring have the correct install height without mic'ing them? Definitely not.
When I did mine, I only needed to shim two of the springs and they weren't very far off. Conversely, a good friend of mine needed shims on most of them (10 of 16 if memory serves) and some were off by a good bit.
I would very strongly recommend using the mic to ensure proper installed height for each spring. What's the worst that could happen from making sure everything is "right"?
