Rim screws

I know this has been debated before but I am wondering again.

Getting new set of rims for the car and I was wondering if I really need to have screws in the beads. (not going to drill the new rims if I don't need to).

What is everyone's experience with when you need these?

My application is a '69 Mustang set-up like a stocker - calc-tracs & mono-leaf.

Run a 10" rim with a 28 X11.5 tire - tubeless - usually around 12 - 13 PSI.

Car has been a best of 1.33 60' - but normally high 1.30's to low 1.40's for 60'

ET is low 10's

Any insight is greatly appreciated.
