Your 2015 LS7 only requires the catch can to prevent the oil from the PCV system from entering the intake manifold and eventually the cylinders. The oil can puddle in the intake and on a hard corner slosh into a cylinder. If enough oil doe this it can result in "hydraulicing" the motor. Fluids do not compress so something has to give with unpleasant results.
This recently happened to a friend of mine in his Z06.
So yes I would recommend running a catch can. I run one on my LS3. Supprising how much it catches.
Good luck

I would love to see evidence of a LS7 hydrolocking from pcv oil... cause that sounds like the most ludicrous shit I have read in a long time.
