Yes CSM+B is sufficient with enough iron, if you feel
you need a tad bit of iron, just dose more CSM+B.
On the other hand if you have a tank full of demanding
plants under intense light adding iron whether it be Flourish
or 10% Chelate would be an advantage.
I am one of those who dose heavy so you will get various
opinions on the matter.

I personally don't use root tabs, I have however tried them
just so I could see what effects it had seeing how I am giving
advice on these particular subjects.
All plants will take in nutrients from the leaves and stem so
a steady dosing regime into the water column yields excellent
results with no need for root tabs.
But using the tabs is OK too.
The overall plan of said individual, type of plants, amount of light
will also determine whether you should or shouldn't use them.
For instance, less light with swords and crypts and minimal
water column dosing, the tabs will be an important improvement
for plant nutrients.
Depends on the over all scenario and goal of the individual.
