Necessary is probably too strong for this answer, but academic manners in the writing process cannot hurt and if anything, especially for a prolific writer, will help. A prolific writer will become known by both the quality of their work and the attitude/style by which they submit their work and respond to the review process or other academic publishing questions. On the flip side, an unmannered writer who ignores common courtesies or comes across as rude and inflammatory will become known for such traits and, eventually, may become labeled a difficult author. This doesn't mean that this type of author may never be able to publish, but most academic specialties and their associated journals are small, and such author characteristics will soon become well known. Officially, this will not be a roadblock to publishing for such an author, but being human, unofficially, this will have ramifications for the author − and whether anyone wants to admit it or not, negatively perceived academic authors will have a tougher time publishing, at least with those who know of them from past experiences or through others.
