   Yes, you do need it.   
      
   You actually need the "Bios Boot" partition, usually of 8 MiB size,   
   because you are using legacy boot.   
      
   And YaST will also insist, with good reasons, despite your   
   protestations, that you need an ESP partition, which you call EFI   
   partition (it is "EFI system partition, that is, ESP). Just let YaST   
   create it. It is quite small, and if you actually need it next decade   
   and don't have it, you will grind your teeth.
