comments.php is only required if you need comments.php. Before 3.0,
WordPress happily used Kubrick's comments.php (same with header.php,
footer.php, comments-popup.php, and sidebar.php). Overly minimal themes are
deprecated. [1]

That said, if the theme doesn't use a sidebar, then not having sidebar.php
won't have any effect.
