are splits needed, or can I just have the timer

you can just use a timer, splits are not necessary but they help you to understand where you are saving and losing time so they are quite helpful

Splits are not required so you can just have a timer and even a timer isn't technically required all you need to show is the game

Splits and even the timer are not required at all, all you need is a clear video of gameplay with audio, Most People have splits to compare with their other runs, or just to remember the route

Thank you all for the help
