I would say that would depend on how large of an area you are using to grow, how many plants are in it and how good or bad the natural air flow is.

Of course to have the very best possible setup you can it would be wise to have an intake/exhaust system and for that fact a CO2 tank setup with a timer to release CO2 at set intervals but not everyone can have the highest tech state of the art setup.

If you are growing in a closet or small area with lots of plants and there isn’t a good airflow then by all means build an intake/exhaust system but if you are growing in a large area and don’t have a lot of plants and you have good natural airflow it is not all that important unless you are going for the absolute maximum yield all the time, which of course we would all like but at times it is not practical for some or even something some can afford. Its not like you are growing adult oak trees in your home that will deplete it of CO2 or something so if you have a good natural airflow you could be fine just as you are.

If you look at building an intake/exhaust system and it is not practical due to your home’s construction/location of your grow or is just to expensive add a fan that will blow air over your plants and that will add fresh air/CO2 and blow out the O2 and while that is not the optimal choice it still might be enough and may be the best you can do.
