Does anyone, besides me, not use sweeteners in their recipes? Do recipes that call for sweeteners need them?

I haven't.
I bought some Purevia at the grocery because I heard erythritol was a decent sweetener, but it was too sweet for my liking.
I use EM every once in a while, but I don't feel that counts. I just let the sweeter flavor concentrates do the job.

Actually, I've heard a few folks say sweetener causes asthma-like symptoms when they use them.
The reason I was asking is because I ran across a lava flow recipe that sounds good, but it calls for 1% sweetener. I'm going to try it without the sweetener, just trying to get some opinions before hand.
I used to get tongue fatigue when I vaped too much premade juice that was heavy with sweetener.
I use them in many of my mixes, but there’s no law says you have to, if you don’t want to. That’s the fabulous part of diy, you get what you like. EM does not equal sweet to me, it does change the flavor though. I mix without and add it if it’s needed.
One of the reasons I got into diy was because the premade juices were too sweet for my taste. The sweetener is coming off of my to buy list.
I occasionally add sweeteners after the juice is mixed. If I feel it needs a drop or two I add it but always after everything else is mixed.
Using, or Not Using, Sweeteners in e-Liquids is like putting Salt on Eggs.
Some People like it and use a Little
Some People use a Lot.
And some people Don't use any.
So... How do You Like your Eggs?
I did but stopped. I never had the headache problem I have drinking sucralose from vaping it but there are other questions about its use.
I recently remade some old recipes that had 2% in them. I left it out figuring it can be added later if needed. I'm also guessing they will need some if I'm remembering right.

Is there any health problems or safety issues when adding sweetener? I know some artificial sweeteners can cause gut issues if used enough over time. Is that a problem when you vape the sweetener as opposed to eating them?
I love me some sweetner in my fruit juices (around 2%) and just a tad in my vanillas and custards (1%) Really makes them lip licking good IMHO.
No salt on my eggs though! Either Tabasco Red or Tabasco Green for me!

i haven't heard as much about sweetener messing with people's guts as much as I heard about some types of VG.
Honestly I would keep a mild one on hand, I keep VTA sugar cane and have needed it maybe 3x at .25%. Usually TFA pear, meringue, or a sweeter cream is enough. Also keep in mind many flavors sweeten with a steep. Meg likes her juices sweet so I've been using some of the Cap "sweet" fruits in her mixes. They are very sweet and useful as an additive at times. I use the sugar cane at 1-1.5% for her; while not my cup of tea doesn't mute like a super sweet does and isn't sickly sweet. Kind of reminds me of sprinkling sugar on my Cheerios.
