A lockring is pretty much required if you apply any back pressure to the pedals. Its there solely for safety and in the case FixAxion he obviously needs one if he keeps spinning his cog off.
You may ride without one if you've rota-fixed the bejesus out of your cog, jb-welded it on, used massive amounts of loctite, ride only the track, used vodoo magic [...insert favourite technique for lockring less riding here], but really its a small tiny piece of metal that does a good thing.
