Depends on how large and fast it is, how strong it is claimed, and where it is installed.

The smaller and faster, the higher the heat load, the more likely it will need a cooler.
In normal or occasional use, it will not need cooling

It usually sits between GraKa and CPU, where it gets quite warm and where little air comes.
If the NVME is heavily stressed, and many data are pushed back and forth (e.g. video editing), it should definitely get a cooler

Try to maintain a good airflow in the housing.
With programs like Crystal disk info you can read the Zusatand and the temperature of your HD/SSD. If it gets too hot, you should think about a cooler

If the temperature is permanently above 65-70°C. This is usually not very healthy and reduces its performance and service life.

In my old computer I have had one without a cooler for years (samsung). Never missed anything.

At my current time, a cooler for the SSD was on the board.

So it will definitely be safer with coolers. It’s annoying when it’s broken. I can’t say how it looks with one of SD now. But these passive heat sinks are not expensive either. At the end you get angry because you wanted to save a few euros and the thing is then broken ðŸTM‚
