Hi James,
unfortunately it's currently a hard requirement. While it improved the performance significantly for large content providers like Wikipedia it made setting up mathoid on small privately hosted instances more difficult. Setting up a simpler way to enable math on private wikis is on my todo list. However, this guide is the best pointer I can give at the moment:

Please let me know if you encouter difficulties following the instructions provided at this page.

Extension:Math removed client side MathJax support after MW 1.25. This makes setup of the Math extension considerably more difficult. Mathoid was fairly straightforward, but RESTBase seems like it is much more complicated. Is RESTBase a hard requirement? Is there any way to connect to Mathoid directly, the way VE can connect to Parsoid directly?
