I don't find it to be a necessity. I vary back and forth from regular to Thera just based on what I have at the time.
 
I use mainly HBH Super Soft spirulina pellets, but also HBH goldfish pellets, and HBH shrimp pellets for all omnivorous cichlids.
I don't notice a strong smell, but because I have approx 20 tanks in a fairly small space, the entire space has a slight jungle pong about it. Non-fish people who come thru say it reminds them of Florida.
I also am not one to try and grow fish any faster than the norm, but I do like colors to be vibrant and have not noticed a lack of color with this regime. And have not had issues with any of the typical maladies.

No. I typically only use it for newly acquired fish, or sick fish that may need an extra boost. Some use it as an everyday staple, but in over a decade of feeding NLS I never have. If fed on a daily basis I found that by water change day my tank water definitely took on a pungent garlic odor.
 
To mix things up, you can add some freeze dried or frozen food. Besides the freeze dried krill, most of freeze dried/frozen food does not smell IMO.
 
i tried kens a month ago. got the cichlid pellets and my fish dont really care for them. the oscar barely eats them. now the sprinula flakes, all my fish devour. currently feeding that to silver dollars, flowerhorn, geophagus, chocolate cichlid, convict and jack dempsey
