vocab is sufficient, but rtk can help in the very beginning when all kanji still look the same to you
personally i think the ideal way is to do a bit of rtk, like 200 characters or so
this will give you a feel for differences between similar looking kanji, the way they can encompass meaning/symbolism, and stroke order principles
all of these things are useful but there's diminishing returns on this stuff and it will absolutely not help you to actually read out words in a text, that you will learn by memorizing vocab and watching and reading japanese for multiple thousands of hours
