For each service that you use regular you should at least have two accounts. Just in case the service goes down or has other issues.
Do you mean on another instance? Interesting idea. But why do I need to do it in advance? In case my instance suddenly disappears I can make a new account only then.. Or not?
It is not mandatory but more a nice to have thing.
Of course you can always create an account on another instance when your home instance disappears / has issues.
But for convenience reasons you should create it before this scenario happens.
