It's not really necessary on any engine. It has very little benefit (though probably some) and adds considerably to the price of the crank.
You quickly get to a point of diminishing returns with any engine design. You can build a very basic, easy to produce engine that can get 99% of the possible HP, or you can spend twice as much to get that last 1%.
