Provided I only require virtual IP (migrated between servers), is there any sense in using heartbeat, or CARP is enough?

CARP will handle moving the IP from box A to box B (and optionally back again), however it won't do anything else -- If you're absolutely sure you don't need to do anything else (like change a DB from slave to master, Start or Stop some service, etc.) CARP should be adequate for your needs.
