Not true in the slightest; evolution is solely driven by differential reproduction rates. You'll see evolutionary dynamics even if every organism you study is immortal and invulnerable.

Dying is just one of many things that affect your ability to reproduce.

In theory, sure. But in practice, it's driven by dying.
