A few friends who ride A LOT and are what I consider top cyclists say absolutely not and others say don't worry so much.
Appreciate your thoughts

I rode the whole summer of covid without padded shorts when I couldn't find a decent one during supply chain issues. It hurts a little more at the start but then you just get used to it after a few weeks. Just wore regular gym shorts or jogging pants.
