Does an internal-only FMU baseboard need a hardware version ID?

I’m developing an FMU baseboard for internal use at my company. We’re not intending to provide it directly to customers or the public. Do I need to worry about the hardware version as defined in DS-019? I would rather not have to add an EEPROM to my board. I also notice that vendors like ARK have boards (https://arkelectron.com/product/ark-pixhawk-autopilot-bus-carrier/) that are not listed in DS-019.

For my board, do I need to request a version ID? If not, what should I do with the HW_VER_REV_DRIVE and HW_VER_SENSE signals on the Pixhawk Autopilot Bus header?
