Hey there!
A VPN is technically optional. If you don't want to use one then FreeTube will work fine and there shouldn't be any risks to being IP banned.
The reason it is usually suggested is because by default FreeTube will make a direct connection to YouTube, so your IP is used to make that call. Using a VPN will send the VPNs IP instead, which is usually preferred for most users.
If you're okay with this, then there's no reason for you to need one.
