Are toe breaks a big deal?

Hello! I recently decided to stop torturing myself with my 2x logitech extreme 3d pro HOSAS setup and decided to get me 2 VKB gladiators. But while i was thinking about it the topic of rudder peddals came up.

My budget isnt huge so i was looking at the VKB T-rudder since it had gotten such good reviews and the price was affordable but the lack of toe brakes has me on the fence. I mostly play warthunder sim (where i feel i would get by fine without them) and have been starting to try out DCS and have been looking at other flight sim's aswell. I also dable in the occasional space game like star citizens or ED.

TLDR: are toe brakes a must for some sims or can you get by without them?

Edit: thanks for all the replies. I decided to get the T-rudders since 1: they are more in my budget. The other options are stretching the wallet a bit thin

2: since i fly from a rotating chair i was thinking i might push myself around with rotating pedals and since they go up and down i hope i wont.

3: they take up less space under my desk where i already have other pedals for driving

4: i saw you could emulate differential steering (probably not as good but i think it will work for my purposes) and was thinking about putting the brakes on the twist of the omnithrottle configured left stick so i dont have only on/off brakes

TLDR2: I got the T-rudder
