HEPA is important
Don't learn the hard way how important a HEPA filter is for dust collection, even for infrequent use of the shop. Don't ignore minor allergic reactions to the dust. They may not remain minor as the exposure continues. Once sensitized, it may take years to desensitize yourself. Error on the safe side and get a HEPA filter. (Also consider wearing a NIOSH N-95 or better dust mask).
Very wise indeed.
