Step I Resources - Not Using Uworld

Question on qbank resources as I start prep for COMLEX and USMLE.

I already have "Lifetime" subscriptions to Amboss and Osmosis, which both have qbanks.
Our school provides TrueLearn for free.

Is it necessary to do/get UWorld if I plan to get through all 3 of these other qbanks (Amboss, Osmosis, TrueLearn[ComBank])?

I've heard the utility of UWorld is much lower for lvl 2 and step 2, if I do get UWorld for lvl/step 1, would it be beneficial to get a longer subscription through lvl/step 3?

Edited for typo.

I only took COMLEX but I think true learn was plenty to pass. I have classmates who only did Amboss and passed both level 1 and step 1, and are using only Amboss for shelf exams.

UWorld subscriptions don’t work like that, where if you get a multi-year subscription it covers multiple exams. You purchase each qbank subscription by exam. I think Amboss does work that way though, which makes it a better value in my opinion.
