Im not an expert, but I generally think that chaintugs are not usually necessary. Though they can be convenient for, eg not needing to fiddle with the wheel too much when sorting out a flat.
I have never used them, and Im rockin stock pista nuts always done up with a li'l old dumbell spanner, and I dont crank down that hard, and nothing ever moves.
I would say, ride it, if your wheel slips around a lot, buy some tugs. If not, then don't and be happy.
