In my view, yes. The purpose of the accumulator tank is to reduce the pressure "slams" when you open the faucet and the pump comes on or in reverse when you close the faucet. Ever been to someone's house where you shut off the water, the pipes go "clunk"? That's what the bladder in the accumulator prevents. On the hot side, it also gives some volume for the hot water to expand into without raising the pressure on your hot supply too much.
