Hi, Enabling Messages in iCloud is not essential for syncing of Messages across devices, nor is it essential for being able to send SMS messages from your Mac. Yes, it does make your life easier as all messages are stored in iCloud when this is checked which allows for syncing of message threads when one or more devices are incommunicado for extended lengths of time. The actual process of sending SMS messages from your Mac does not specifically require the Messages in iCloud to be enabled though.

My iMessages and SMS messages all sync on my phone and Mac.
