So technically is a boost controller even necessary if you just have a wastegate? Is the boost controller just to "override" the wastegate so you can get more boost?

Basically. But the boost controller not only allows more boost, it also allows control over the boost map so it's more than just a linear feedback loop between boost level and WG open percentage.
