Does that imply requiring it for Emacs to build and work?

No, but the MS-DOS build is still relevant.

For example, we would lose the ability to inspect custom files as plain
text.  In many cases, customize has written bad data to my custom file
that prevented Emacs from working, but I could always edit the custom
file manually to get things working again.

This would not be so easy with a binary database.
