Lieutenant General Timothy D. Haugh is very clear on section 702:

"In my experience it is absolutely essential," he told lawmakers.

New York Times on Section 702: https://www.nytimes.com/article/warrantless-surveillance-section-702.html

A very "good" designed power point of section 702 by the US government: https://www.dni.gov/files/icotr/Section702-Basics-Infographic.pdf
