You should be ok, but you might not want to use the mobile feature of it because it overrides the theme’s own mobile styling….although usable, you just lose the extra styling of the theme itself when in mobile view. Doesn’t hurt to try jetpack as I know many people have it installed.
Basically the list of plugins I display in the tutorial is just for what I installed on the live demo site, but it doesn’t limit what you or anyone else may want to add to it.
