The programming is required for the VATS security system to work properly. If you got away without programming, you either got lucky, or your tune has it turned off.

It's safer to get a remanufactured cluster that's been programmed, that way your mileage is legitimate and you don't run any risks of being cited for odometer tampering, which while not usually enforced does have a hefty fine in some states.

I would say that whoever you buy one from needs to be a certified AC/Delco service center.
