In my experience, which may be different from your own, RCs have often served to make me lucid. I question reality, but am not always sure until I look at my hands. Many times I've been surprised by the results ("I'm dreaming??"). And yes, many dreams I have not needed to RC as well.

It's a good strategy for most people, as I believe RCs can help most people become lucid. However, perhaps they are not for you. One thing I will say, be careful with your tone. "...I don't even need to, it's obvious when I'm dreaming". That sort of mindset is exactly what causes us to assume we know that we are not dreaming, when in fact we are.
