Do you need to feel a sense of progression to enjoy the time you put into a game?

It depends, but I'd generally say no. There are cases where progression can get me through something I otherwise would drop, but usually I only stick with games with great fundamental gameplay that I enjoy. To me, good progression is an enhancement, and the best progression system in the world can't save an otherwise boring game.
I still thoroughly enjoy games like Shadow of Mordor from time to time, even though I've gotten everything there is to get. I also stuck with Titanfall 1 for years, despite it not having a lengthy/complex progression system.

99% of the time yes. The only exception I can think of is BotW where I didn't mind spending a few hours just exploring even if I didn't make any progress.
Depends really
I dont need progression, but if i have not some, let say overwatch for example, im gonna quickly gonna bored of it and dont play it that long. Still had my 120h fun. But im not ever gonna touch it again, like league of legends, no matter how many heroes/champions there releasing because i had my game exprince with that concept and without progression there is nothing how this is gonna massivly change

There's no artificial progression in fighting games, but there's a lot of actual progression. Getting better is the progress.
In MP games/roguelikes etc even though there's no meters going up, the progression lies in you, the player, getting better through experience and practice, which is actually ultimately more satisfying.
