Do I need Setup.hs file when creating Haskell projects?

I use stack new <name>, then hpack-convert and add dependencies into package.yaml in order to skip ceremony and start writing Haskell code.

Why is there's always a Setup.hs file? I don't use custom setups as far as I know. Will I need to include this file at some point?

I think it's just an old haskell convention that "Setup.hs" can be used to build the package, even for simple build types. Pretty sure it can be removed without having issues.
