In short, yes. (pistol and rifle)
Re. pistol...it's essential to have when/if you need it. Can you get by without one...sure. You just have to exclude yourself from situations/scenarios when you have to use one (i.e. certain CQB/CQC scenarios, unsafe/wise situations, etc...)
Re. Rifle...they're litterally too much fun to not use. They're not as plug and play "simple" as AEGs...but the fun outweighs any downsides. That said, in cold weather (sub 15C) I run an electric...and always take an electric as a backup. Also...if it's a fun-day-shoot-'em-up skirmish...I might take an electric and a bunch of plastic mid-cap mags. In the multitudes of games I've only had to go to my backup rifle once.
Get out to a firefight where it's mostly gas guns...it's a game-environment changing thing.
