It's kind of a moot point. Not many sites block mail lacking SPF today, but the longer you send mail from a domain without an SPF record, the more likely you are to eventually run into woe. So your point is valid, but only in a pretty limited way. I'd say add the SPF record.
Gmail doesn't say that they'll block mail lacking SPF, but they do now say that they will put a big ole question mark in the Gmail UI if the sender lacks an SPF record or DKIM authentication.
