Is it required (and some may disagree), no, I don't really think so. You can do a hard reset and then flash the ROM and see how you like it (kind of like doing the old style flash dance)
FWW, wiping my device clean increases my pucker factor a bit and I have not elevated my comfort zone to that level yet.
So, as long as your device is still unlocked, then do a hard reset and then flash the new rom if you are a bit nervous about task29.

you do the hard reset after flashing a rom, not before.
