Speaking for my own opinions and experience, tonality is a useful tool open to a composer. Using that tool (or any other) is not mandatory but it can be useful, largely for the obvious purpose: creating that familiar "coming back home" sensation in your music. If that's a feeling you want to portray in your music, then by golly Tonality is a great tool for a composer.
