If you have speakers that can produce a very strong mono phantom image, then center speakers are not required even in HT.
Generally, most “hifi” speakers do not produce a strong enough mono phantom image (which limits the stereo image as well) so subjectively adding a center channel helps the localize the dialogue in HT .
Best,
