Jumping in without documentation or help when there is a questionable
relationship between the client and developer...this should be a lot of fun.

Sounds way over-built, but since we don't know the intent of the
architecture nor all the features expected, hard to say.

I don't believe so.

"Necessary" is not something that can be answered.  In their environment as
programmed, probably.  In general, can an Asterisk server run without it?
 Yes.  A low-end single x86 server can easily support hundreds of endpoints
and dozens of concurrent calls, with all Asterisk services running on a
single server.
