Do I need narrow wide chain ring for x1 setup?

Hi All

I am building up a x1 road set-up on a late 80s steel frame. I want to use a SRAM 10 or 11 speed cassette on rear and a x1 chain ring. I plan to also use one of the new rear derailleur with a clutch. The question is do I need to use a narrow wide chain ring up front, say from SRAM, Wolf Tooth, Praxis etc or can I just use a more standard config. I obviously dont want to run into issues with the chain coming off.

Many Thanks

Arb
