My wife and I should be a good source to directly answer your question. We live in Maryland and have camped at Assateague State Park for decades. It's a beautiful place but it is literally right on the ocean.
We have been through many nor'easters and several close hurricanes. Our current unit has four slides all with toppers. We've been in 60 to 75 mph winds multiple times and them Toppers make so much noise you think they're going to self-destruct. So far no visible damage however it is literally impossible to sleep in the camper with the slide out in high winds. In fact just this past September we left 5 days early because we couldn't stand it anymore.
The only real advice I can give you is if you commonly camp and wooded areas I would get them but if you normally camp in areas that are wide open with no trees they're not necessary
