It very much depends on the reasons for the forward entries.
For example:
Commercial backup software for Microsoft servers require
forward-reverse-forward matching. They won't move bytes
unless a lookup returns an IP, the reverse lookupo returns a
name and a forward lookup for that name matches.
Commercial and open source email handlers are often
configured (some as a default) to refuse or quarantine messages
from inbound sessions using non-matching host==>IP==>host
entries.
If it's for a local experimental lab, it might be a waste of your
time to even create the reverse zones.
