IMO, seating charts are a must so, yes. Many venues require them and most wedding planners encourage them if they don’t require.
DD’s wedding was only 200. Her groom and his mom thought a seating chart was unnecessary. DD disagreed so deferred to the planner who said, “the biggest wedding reception hassle/complaint is when people who came together can’t sit together. The larger the wedding. The greater the chaos without a seating chart.” DD made one and everyone was happy.
I have actually left a reception before due to DH and I not being able to find two seats together. In one case, we were with another couple and we all left and went out to dinner together because we couldn’t find 4 seats.
