you don't need it. Would it be nice, yeah sure. But many people use the stock gasket again. My megan one came with another one, so I just used that one. I could have reused mine, but it was there, so I didn't.

What exactly can go wrong if you use the stock one? Ive used the stock one with the MMW header and then reused to put the stock header back on and had zero issues.

i dont think anything can really go wrong, i chose to get a new when i put my header on, since my car had 30k+ on the old gasket and it looked beat up

the gasket can get brittle and worn out and leak deadly carbon monoxide gas into the passenger cabin and well...cause diziness and death and crashing and what not.
