Nonstick is never absolutely necessary. It's a minor convenience over learning to control heat or washing a pan if you don't.

IR thermometer is a good thing to have and it takes a lot of guessing out from heating the pan correctly and heat control. I haven't burned oil in ages. Works best with the cast iron pans, due to the black non-reflective finish.
I don't cook anything that causes me a problem using stainless steel but I accept there may be cases where non-stick is essential.
My earlier point could be expanded to:
Make stainless steel your primary cookware and only fall back to a non-stick option when absolutely necessary. In doing so, you're risking far less exposure than someone who uses that stuff for everything they cook.
