Totally up to you. If the car had it when it was delivered, it probably needed it. I've had a few overheats with my Cutlass, but that was usually my fault for overfilling the rad or a stuck thermostat (which happens once in a while).
Do I need a coolant reservoir? Probably not. But, I want it just to be on the safe side. If under the hood has to be spiffy, this might just be a little bit of clutter. In my engine bay, I think the new coolant bottle makes it look "spiffier".
If you're happy with things the way they are....leave it off.
The origin on this thread appears to be 2 isolated incidents that spurted coolant. If you've made sure your coolant is the right level, your thermostat is working right, and the rad cap is working as designed, maybe it's better just to leave well enough alone. Spend the money on gas cruisin the town and enjoying your ride.
