In 30 years I have never had a functioning pressure cap, so no, it doesn't need to be functioning at 100%. The B20 cooling system has so much extra capacity up it's sleeve that I have had no problem, even with an engine that produces 50% more than stock! So when one overheats, something is wrong with it.

Water wetter is snake oil, although there is such a thing for soil that works, it's basically detergent.
