Is it really necessary to have a CO2 generator?


No, as long as you don't put in too much light and plant accordingly with
low light plants. Everything is a balance - upping the light will not
necessarily make your plants grow better - they will just use up the
available CO2 faster & then stop. You can "help" the CO2 level in a tank
without CO2 supply by having a good amount of turbulence at the surface
and/or an Airstone in the tank.
