No. Smite is absolutely necessary for jungling. First, it allows you to jungle safer. Killing big creeps faster means taking less damage. Second, it allows you to secure your buffs, Dragon, and Baron when you do them. Third, it allows you to steal buffs, Dragon, and Baron from the enemy. Always take Smite.
