No, you don't need/want any lava rocks. Your neighbor is flat-a** wrong.
Use it as it was designed and it will give you many years of good
food.

The flavorizer bars were designed to replace the lava rocks and the problems
associated withthem. They can catch grease and cause flareup more than
other methods.

I'm "assuming" that you're saying that the rocks will catch grease and
flare-up more, right?

Correct. They are porous and can hold quite a bit of drippings. Then when
they do let go, F I R E that will make a mess of anything on the grill.
This can be lessened a bit by pre-heating them to very hot and burn off any
residue, but sometimes you just don't and pay later.
