Is it compulsory, no, but if you don't you will likely be back in the shop soon for another head gasket. The thing that usually happens when engines overheat is the head warps, which leads to coolant loss, which leads to more overheating. See where I am going. But they also check for cracks, which are a real possibility. And it is possible there is a problem with the block if you have had a lot of overheating problems.
