Do I need table top fasteners?

I'm building a behind the couch table and I'm wondering if I need to use table top fasteners. I understand the need for them in a normal table because with multiple boards you'll have movement across several boards. But in this case, the top is one solid 2x8. Is there enough movement to warrant table top fasteners or no?

The plans I'm following just glued and screwed it on but it was some pintrest post my wife found and I want to make sure I do it right.
