Are rice hulls ever needed in BIAB?

I'm planning to use about 10% wild rice in a porter. I'll grind it and cook it before adding it to the mash. I typically use about 8 1/2 gallons in the brew pot for 10 to 11 lbs. of grain.
Given the above, if I stir the wild rice mixture into the water at my strike temp before adding the rest of the grains to begin the mash, will I need rice hulls?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

For BIAB, I would say no, rice hulls are not needed.
For any other process, they are cheap insurance. Are they necessary in these cases? It depends. At 10%, maybe not. At 20% or more, possibly but not necessarily.
Clear as mud, ain't it!
