If you dont, you can still benefit from a catch can, since how dirty your intake gets is very dependent on the changing driving conditions you put the car thru.

Either way, a good maintenance procedure for direct injected engines is to throw a can of injector cleaner into the intake every oil change (just before the oil change).

If you do that, you should be golden.
