Is flow control really required to communicate with ANT?

Yes. Due to the resource constraints of the ANT baseband processor, there is very little space to buffer bytes received from the host MCU. To ensure packets are not dropped, flow control must be implemented properly. This is especially important if doing burst transfers.
