Do I really need a base for Primo Viaggio car seat?

You just clip the car seat out when you go some where to put in the pram or just to carry into the house, much less fiddly. If you choose to opt out of the base do make sure you get a good demonstration on how to fit your car seat using the belts in YOUR car (not just the models they have in the shop), and make sure you do it correctly every time. Unfortunately car seats are fitted incorrectly all the time, because people just don’t know how to fit them properly. Basically it is safe w/o one, but much easier with one.
