I have been an off season zwifter for 3 years and have never applied a brake ever.
The helmet would be terrible while zwifting! the heat would be unbearable in a helmet even with fans......I never ride any other time without a helmet.
Just like DrI said, its a pretty minimalistic riding situation. I wear bibs, socks and shoes...nothing else needed!
