Was the latter necessary? Yes.

Not absolutely necesary, but depending on what it means by "cause Pyrrha's death" it would have been a good move by the writers, and a good kickstarter for Jaune to stop being such a noob whose only combat-related talent appears when Miles remembers he has it.

And many other things in the show were not necesary either. The Qrow vs Winter fight, the Jaune Arc in Vol.1, the Yang-Raven Dreamesque scene...
