You never “have” to do LST. Overdoing it will harm yield rather than help it. Trimming will be necessary at some point.

I keep it simple and trim only as necessary to maintain good airflow within the plant.

Welcome to the community , Plants look great. I would definitely top the plants one time. Try to keep it simple The first grow .
Good luck

All you have to remember is that the plants will double in height once in flower so tent height is how/when to judge.

Another benefit of LST is to expose the lower bud sites
