Default Need a balun?

Let's say I have a perfectly balanced dipole with a feedpoint impedance

I connect a perfect 72 ohm coax (an unbalanced connection) to the
feedpoint, and drive the antenna system with an unbalanced 72 ohm source.

Since the power sent to the antenna is not reflected, do I need a balun?


No.
