No, not necessary.
Focus is more on Azure based certifications now. So probably you can appear for DP-900, DP-200, DP-201, DP-300 (Administrating DBs on Azure)
Also note that - Microsoft Certification / Exam related questions are currently not supported on this forum. It's better to reach out to dedicated forum over here:
