You should definitely get a mat. Thicker than a yoga mat. Lots of options on Amazon.
If it were me I would buy a matching cassette so you don’t have one less thing to adjust when transferring from indoors to outdoors but your call — either will be sufficient for training (you don’t need the extra gearing of an 11 speed).

Yeah, I was looking at the option of getting a cheap Chinese Shimano compatible road cassette and weight doesn't matter on the trainer. Actually the $1799 Kickr comes with a Sunrace 11 spd cassette in the box. Decathlon has 11 spd no-name cassettes for $35.
But you have a good point that each cassette is different and my biggest worry is screwing up the indexing.
