I think most of us use master cylinders. I assume that it is the servo you are talking about?
Personally, don't know whether your car would be ok or not without a servo. It would still stop without one but would require a bit of leg
effort.

Without a master cylinder you may have to use a brick wall to stop. The master cylinder is the part that turns foot pressure into hydraulic pressure
which operates the calipers etc. As already suggested the servo may be the part you mean ? which reduces amount of foot effort applied for any given
hydraulic pressure.

a servo isn't required, but you will need a decent pedal ratio and master cylinder to slave cylinder sizing will be more crucial.
