I guess it depends on if you think that all the groundwork will payoff if we end up understanding the characters better in coming seasons.
It's a stupid question.

"was the season necessary?".....No. Full stop. It's television; nothing about it is 'necessary'.

You already know how the story is going to end (because if it doesn't, comic fanboys will have kittens), so why the big rush? Television is purely entertainment and that's the only question that needs be asked.

"Was the season entertaining?"

I think that's an unqualified yes. And as a consequence, comic book fans got to see 10 more episodes of Jesse Custer. Non-comic fans (such as myself) also got to see those 10 more episodes and in the process got a little of the context that is difficult to fit into television adaptations of anything. You can't really do character development as well in a non-written medium because it's hard to get into their heads. Well this way we can actually see what put those thoughts in his head.

Again, just too much gnashing and wailing.
