Check the AACOM's DO Explorer since schools have gradually started to remove that as a requirement. Cross reference with the actual school's admission site too in order to be sure. Since Faha gave you a list of suggested DO schools, you can also start with those to see.

Not at all, UNLESS the school requires such a letter.

Even if it is "strongly recommended" ?

In that case, get one.
If it's a DO LOR, all the better
