My old set of Eurus doesn't have tape (but it's alloy) and don't have any tape.
The point of the tape would be to ensure a not-too-loose fit of the tire bead under the hook. It wouldn't be needed to seal the spoke holes because there wouldn't be any, but if the tire bead under the hook were a loose fit the tape might be a good idea. I have no idea whether it would be needed or not, but if it were, that's the reason.
