Useful for roasts, but not really necessary.

Pretty necessary for me. I grew up vegetarian and never learned how to cook meat until I was an adult. If I didn't have a thermometer to get it right, I would fuck it up every time.

That's a big hand...

For a noob? Very useful. But once you have enough experience you can judge the doneness of most things by texture.
Even for experiened cooks I think a thermometer with a remote probe is god-tier for cooking roasts and BBQ. You can leave the probe in the meat and run the wire out the door of the oven/smoker/pit/etc. That way you can constantly monitor the meat without having to open it. You can cook your roast (or whatever) perfectly every time with no guesswork at all.
Given how cheap thermometers are I highly recommend them.

Useful for frying you want to make sure the oils at temperature before you put anything in there

I find an infrared thermometer more useful. If I'm confident in the temperature of my pan, I'm confident about when the food will be done.

Infrared thermometer to see what temperature your cooking surface is.
Remote wire thermometer for roasts.
You don't need anything else.
