As said, its recommended but not essantial.
But by changing the quadrant you will:
1. Lose all chances of the auto adjuster ever failing (which they often do)
2. Be able to adjust the pedal height to suit your needs
3. Have a lighter pedal and also will get a higher lift on the pressure plate
Not really anything good about keeping the old one apart from they are a pain to fit

the conversion is not hard to do, dosn't cost a lot (about Ł25) & its a lot easier than re-fitting a standard quadrant

How can you get more clutch travel AND a lighter pedal?
I'm at least using the standard mk3 quadrant with my AP and have absolutely no issues with the pedal. The clutch could take some more torque tough...

And you get more lift also again because the quadrant is a larger diameter, it has a larger circumference so it pulls more cable when fully depressed

As JesseT says you can't have BOTH increased clutch travel AND a lighter pedal.
The imposed load into the system is not directly applied to the Quadrant lever but to the pedal arm. The output is related to the lever arm ratio.
You can have either a lighter pedal and less stroke OR a stiffer pedal and a longer stroke.
It is possible to prove by moment equations but I'm not going to

Here you go......

Takes some fiddling to get it right if you want the pedal to end up not being higher than normal, but worthwhile IMO.
My Alcon 6-Paddle feels SO nice to drive with.
