I've seen various species of SPS color up nicely without massive skimming. Will you be getting the most color possible without it, probably not depending on the species. Does skimming make life easier - sure. No argument from me on that one
Guess it all depends on what your priorities are. If your goal is a SPS packed tank bristling with show stopping color from end to end then yes, a skimmer is going to go a long way to acheiving that goal. But if you want something else, there are ways to work around it.

That was exactly my point, you can run a system without a skimmer no problem but you will not get optimal colors out of your acros if that's important to you.
