I think it would be wise. Reason being you can use a masonry bit to drill your base rocks and stick em on rebar that you can poke into the wet foundation of concrete. Remember to add 1/4 gaps for water drainage, Just like your home.
I grew up in an area with stacked stone wall higher than that and they did not have footings.
No footing needed. A small trench about half the depth of the stone, a bed of concrete for the first course of stone.
No. Stacked stone is oldest building method ever ancients used and still stands today
