Yeah, you definitely don't NEED a pup to produce fruit...it's just a good idea to keep the largest pup on there. Since bananas only fruit once, then die back to the root, the new pup will replace the mother plant. You don't want too many pups on there during fruiting or it will reduce nutrient flow to the fruit and decrease hand/fruit size, but keep one nice on on there as a future replacement for the main plant.
