At stage 2 and lower power, stock PCV is usually fine unless you're tracking. I have stage 1 and got some oil surging and oil smoke when autocrossing. Likely would've happened without a tune. A simple in-line catch can with the stock PCV solved it for me.
It just depends what the issue is and what you're trying to solve.

Street car, <29psi? Probably never need it. Over that, matter of time, on any of the newer PCV revisions that folks have tried (BL, BM, BK, AN...)
I've looked at a couple pipes of folks running a later PCV with a can and the can was dry but they still had some oil pooling up in their charge piping/inlet. (<29psi stage 2 tune type setups) So personally I'd say it's worth running one as the air is warm enough.
