When I was running an Emperor 280 I never used an air stone along with it. It aerated the water well,it says in the manual that it creates micro bubbles. I'm not sure if all work the same.

Air stones are esthetic for the most part. If you have a hang on filter you will be fine.

I'm taking mine out now that I've got surface agitation from my canister filter, just upgraded to 2213 from a tom canister that didn't do the job.
I'm sure you'll be fine as others have said.
