If your completely happy with the appearance, (looks, depth, richness, clarity etc) its not necessary. Just keep in mind, waxing/sealing doesnt really change the appearance of the paint. Gloss, yes, depth and clarity no.
So to answer your question, no, you dont have to strip the wax. (With one exception)
If your applying a sealant (polymer) over a Carnauba, yes.
Sealant over sealant, no.
Carnauba over sealant, no.
If your reapplying a Carnauba wax, no.

Claying will also remove old wax... That and a good polish job and you're ready for sealing/waxing...
