These reports are optional, but encouraged.

The main aim is to show work going on in the wider Ubuntu community -
providing reports will involve minimal effort if people follow the
process I identified - it is a case of adding a bullet point to a page
when something happens, and then once a month moving these bullet points
to the report page. This is not a lot of work, but it will provide the
wider Ubuntu community with some information of what your team is doing.
This will encourage the LoCo project to see the activities of a number
of teams at a glance and this can give an effective idea of things that
people are working on, provide inspiration for new teams, get an idea
which teams are more active than others etc.

I don't think providing reporting information is a bad thing, it does
not take anything away from the project, and the minimal amount of work
(a few bullet points each month) could provide value for the wider
project.
