Some years back I used to do rewiring, pickup changes, etc as a sideline and remember a guy bringing along a guitar where he'd spent money on having the cavities treated with shielding paint (by someone else) and complaining that the paint had no effect. The paint wasn't grounded so of course it did nothing, but that was easy to rectify.
I think you either choose to live with the hum and control it like most Tele players do or use a stacked humbucker, where shielded cavities could have more effect. I love the sound of single coils but always have with me a guitar with traditional or stacked humbuckers for venues that are found to be electrically 'noisy'.
Therefore, needed it is not.
