Is pushback clearance always required? In many airports in real life, the ramp area is uncontrolled and no push clearance is required. If there is active ATC at an airport that the irl counterpart does not require push clearance, should it still be requested?

Yes, pushback clearance must be obtained if there is ground frequency online and you are at a stand that requires it.
If for e.g there is no ground frequency at the airport and its just Tower (e.g. LPMA), you can pushback at your own discretion provided the area is clear.

Sounds good! Just to clarify, an airport like KBHM does not require push clearance in real life even though you have pushback off the gate. In game, however, we would get clearance.
