I would say that no, it isn't necessary if you're all really familiar with the content and familiar enough with each other that you can know and expect how your teammates will react to any given situation. In groups with strangers or people who are unfamiliar with the content, voice programs can help save wipes because you can call out changes or give directions on the fly without having to stop and type it out (and then hope the person or persons you're addressing even read it). It isn't a crutch so much as it's making up for unfamiliarity. Actually that is a crutch, but I digress, you know what I mean.

With that being said, that group sounds like a bunch of jackasses anyway so being kicked doesn't sound like much of a loss.
