IF you run a public routing node, it will help you keep your channels sane and your peers cannot cheat on you, stealing your sats. IF you run a PRIVATE node (not routing) is not really necessary.

It can still make sense to use a watchtower with a private node. Your channel partner could still try to publish an old channel state onchain while your node is offline.

Ty! I have understood it very well now, and it will help me if I run a node ever in future. I forwarded this yesterday to my Reddit friend who I know runs a node. I don't know if it's public or private. He never clarified it to me.

As a private node runner, you are choosing wisely your peers. is supposed to be more LSPs and well known people or even friends (with public nodes). So the risk is really low.
