Adding Search Console properties for all URL variations

Do I need to add other url variations?

Gidday folks

Just added a new (GA4 enabled) web site to Google Search Console via the html header tag, and got an email saying I should "Add all your website versions
Make sure you add separate Search Console properties for all URL variations that your site supports, including https, http, www, and non-www."

My question is, if ALL the other variations 301 redirect to the https-www version, should I bother?

(I use some third party SEO services which parse GA and search console, and one in particular makes an absolute mess of it, throwing duplicate page reports where there are none. So also wondering if not creating addtional "properties" in SC, will also reduce this.)

Cheers and thanks in advance.
JP.

i would want to see all the properties in Search Console to insure the non-canonical urls are redirecting properly.
