Do I need public DNS records for the external IPs of our workstation NAT?

Question

We have certain stakeholders who believe that the public IPs used by our workstations should have globally available DNS records, and that not having dns records would break some internet services. I've heard of this need in the past, but in this day and age do I still need to make dns records available to the world for our workstation IP address space?
