The other benefit for using dummy plugs is if you use software to remote view the headless rigs (VNC, etc.), the screen resolution will be higher (matching the HDMI dummy plugs resolution). This may or may not be a big deal for you, but I know with AMD cards it used to only display a very small 640x480 window making it very hard to manage the rigs remotely.
This may have changed with the more recent AMD drivers, I do not know as I mainly have Nvidia cards now and all my older AMD's have the dummy plugs already, but something to keep in mind. Not having them right away should in no way affect your ability to begin mining, so you can decide if you need them once you have your rigs up and running. If all your cards are Nvidia, then as others have mentioned you will not need them at all.
