Is the default layout folder necessary when having layout-port and layout-land?

My app uses a specific layout depending on the screen orientation layout-port and layout-land and I don't currently use layout. Reading the documentation the developers mentioned that we shouldn't make assumptions about the default orientation because some devices might have a default orientation of landscape.

Is it safe then to not include a layout folder and only have layout-land and layout-port ?

Build scripts may need it to be present but you can always keep layout folder empty anyway, however this is not the best approach imho. I'd consider layout the default layout - but it is up to you if you put portrait or landscape layouts there (I'd suggest putting portrait) so in that case you need just layout and layout-land.
