Brumation is not necessary to produce viable hatchlings in corn snakes. I spent years not brumating my animals with great success.
One of the perks of brumation is that it gives the animals and the keeper a break. The more important benefit is that if you intend to breed animals, brumation makes the process more uniform and predictable. All your animals will cycle around the same time; shedding, ovulating, mating, laying eggs, etc. Without brumation one must be ever vigilant to spot these signs and act accordingly. This is especially helpful when you have a large number of animals.
