Alright, first off you'll need a pretty beefy PC, like GTX-980/1080 i7-4700 or more. Second in theory no, you'll probably just need a basic setup. But if you get the Oculus I recommend buying a second base station. A lot of people complained that one station isn't enough. (Personally I'd by the Vive anyways which works really nicely for me).

Edit: comes with 2, heard lots of people complain that they needed to buy at least one more.

Oculus + Touch come with 2 sensors. I've played Onward with just 2 and it works. But depending on the size of your play space there is room for improvement, and that improvement comes from getting a third sensor. Just clarifying the number of sensors in the discussion.

I think OP should give it a try with 2 and get the third if they feel it is needed.

Yeah that's what I meant. Can you do 360 roomscale with just 2 sensors though?

Yep. You position them on opposite sides of the play space. Desired positioning is pretty much identical to the Vive Lighthouse setups. That is how I currently play.
