NOT necessarily so. Over here, Hydraulic brakes MUST have a split system so if there is a leak, the other half will work, either front or back only is better than nothing. I think only the stupid would install a single master cylinder but that would allow Darwin to do his work.
If the OP want to go hydraulic, I suggest a split system for safety and to allow the front/back bias to be correctly set up - unlike Henry's split which might have been OK in the day but is not in today's traffic and on today's roads.
