I would, it's not as scary as it used to be.
The updates improve memory stability and has been noticeable for things like 4x ram sticks.

Look at the motherboard. There will be a printed scanbar on it. The last 4 digits will be the included bios. Look at the Asus webpage for the motherboard. Click the button for CPU support and look at the minimum bios required for the 9800x3d. With that information you now know what no one online will be able to tell you since we don't have your motherboard in our hands.

Maybe. It depends what BIOS version is already on the motherboard.
I see no reason to not just flash the latest BIOS.

Assuming it came with a version new enough for the 9000 series you probably don’t need to. But I would still load the latest, it’s easy on that board and takes less than 30 minutes
