This is a question that pops up from time to time and it is a great question. The short answer is that carbon fiber guitars are "set and forget". What makes having a truss rod nicer, at least in my opinion, is that it will give you that much more control over your set up. Just like on wooden guitars, truss rods in carbon fiber are either to add or take away neck relief and that is it. Carbon fiber guitars certainly don't need it because the necks are so rigid- even to the point of going from light to medium strings. Your neck won't move.
So it basically comes down to preference.
