To use them offensively in a system where you do not have a colony, yes, you need a carrier. Otherwise, you don't. I think the key reason why I think fighters should pay support is their ability to leave orbit en masse, group together in a huge fleet, and attack enemy ships inside the system.
Of course, the main reason I want them to pay maintenance is because I have fun using them. But I've gotten so good that I feel like I'm cheating. If I don't have to start paying some sort of maintenance, I'll have to voluntarily stop using them...
