Does the whirlpool tun need to be insulated?

Does the whirlpool tun need to be insulated? Most of brewers would suggest it should be insulated ideally.

Firstly, for the wort, the hotter it is, the better the chance of maintaining sterility.

Secondly, when the wort goes into the heat exchanger with a high temperature, it can reclaim the hottest water possible for the next mash, which is also very nice.

Thirdly, the whirlpool tun with insulation is more safe design. If the whirlpool tun is not insulated, at the high temperatures the brewers operate at, a burn is not something they want to experience by inadvertently coming in contact with it while in service. 

What do you think? If you have any opinion, feel free to tell us.
