No you don't need a second tray if you don't mind water dripping out.

I don't use a second pan outdoors because I never know when it might pour and I don't want the cuttings to drown.

Indoors I like a drip tray for everything although some large pots don't get a drip tray so I stock up on pans each year since some are used for propagation and old drip trays need replacing when they start rusting out. I hate it when water is dripping on lights below.

If you have a market for that many cuttings I would go for it. Home Depot had a bunch of cane begonias two years ago and I'm confident they came from NC farms. Very well grown and very affordable - $4 for an 8 inch pot. I bought several different ones. I just wished they would do that each year but I suppose there isn't insane people like me to scoff them up.
