Yes, it's needed.
I'll add that tutorial would be asked each time you wanna create an empire, before joining the universe. You can decline it (even the first time).
During the tutorial (at least until gravity drive / WARP is researched) you don't have access to workshop designs unless you turn them on in the options. This would avoid confusing newbies more than they should be.
As for stories tied to tech researches : yes.
We could start with missile and canon techs (they must be made non-physical before), then with a story we could unlock energy weapons. Same for transporters and some other techs (like high pressure buildings).
