Do I need a physical brake to Zwift?

I'm going to do a simple Zwift setup (Tacx dumb trainer and adding speed/cadence sensors to my bike) but tonight realized my spare rear wheel is missing the disc brake lock ring because it's on my main rear wheel.

So do I really need to have working brakes for a Zwift setup? I guess if I don't, I need to be vigilant not to use the brakes so I don't actuate the calipers against nothing.

I am going to order a lockring but because of where I am, it's really expensive locally and ordering one online is going to take another week and I want to start Zwifting ASAP.
