Oil can get really hot and still work ok.
If you are going on track I'd recommend one, or going to the Autobahn to drive flat out for many miles.
But apart from that it's probably not necessary.
I'd try log the temp and see if it gets bad, how bad, and how un-bad you want it, and then spec a cooler specifically to the need you have! As others have said, over-cooling the oil is probably worse than having it get a bit not now and again.
