You don't need the toolkit for it to be usable. The toolkit is an opinionated way of setting up and using redux but it's just as easy to use redux without it. The power of the toolkit is that you'll be familiar with all other implementation of the toolkit whereas Redux itself gives you a lot of freedom to set it up however you like.

A good example is the addition of Immer in the toolkit. It's absolutely not necessary for Redux but you could implement it yourself without the toolkit if you wanted to.
