The return springs are sufficient.

Wonder how one manages to bench bleed master cylinders without brake shoes.

Ok, I will modify my post. I have never attempted to bleed brakes without the drums on and the way I bleed them it would not work. I put a lot of pressure on the brake pedal, and thus the hydraulics, and it would over power the return springs.
