Everything I use comes over. There are a some items that I use the HACS Hubitat Integration for, but that's specific to my way of handling some automations.

I will have to download HACS and have it available.
Not if you plan to only bring HA entities into HE. HADB does not need anything installed on HA. (aside from paticular device integrations you would need to use)

I use HA with Hubitat to get several of my lights working with my Logitech Harmony remotes. I have 2 Harmony remotes that have home control/lighting buttons.
I use MakerAPI in Hubitat and the Hubitat HA integration (via HACS) to bring the lights I want to control into HA.
Once my Hubitat based lights are in HA, I use the Emulated HUE integration in HA to get my lights into my Harmony remotes. My Harmony remotes natively support HUE lights and Emulated HUE mimics a HUE hub. With this setup, I can press different buttons on each of my remotes to turn specific lights on/off or dim them. It also gives me the ability to have lights turn on/off, or dim when turning on the TV at night or when pausing or stopping a movie.

I only plan on doing as you said. However. Who knows down the road. I am glad I don't have to have it.
Even if you don't need or use the HE>HA add-on, HACS itself is nice to have available for many other great community add-ons.

Like @SmartHomePrimer mentions, it is a nice to (must) have,,, like HPM in the HE ecosystem... A no-brainer ubiquitous utility to install on any setup.

I use HPM very frequently so I am sure I will find uses for HACS as well. It is impossible to not tinker and be like oooh I can do that.
