Therefore the obvious answer to your question is no, it is not essential. However it is very desirable and should be strongly encouraged. Where a man has had opportunity to study full time at seminary for a reasonable spell (2-4 years) I don't think it is unreasonable to expect some level of competency.
If I ever had the chance for any full time or part time directed study (pray on!) Greek would be my #1 wish.
