I think whether or not DIS is mandatory for SNW depends on your classic knowledge - i bailed on it very early on, had zero issues picking up SNW - but i’m also a fourth gen trek nerd so, yannow, pike’s fate is very well known to me. The addons i picked up as i went.
Without that knowledge though i could see where someone would be utterly lost on SNW
