Necessary to bed brake pads (Ferodo DS2500)?

I just installed some ferodo ds2500 brake pads, and the bedding instructions say to do 25 to 30 times of braking at 50% for 4 seconds. However, is this necessary if I'm not going to be able to hit the track anytime soon? I've heard some people don't bother with bedding in brake pads, and wondering if I should do this. I changed the front rotors about 500 miles ago, but not the rears. This is replacing the stock pads, and my goal is it to eventually do some casual track days. Given coronavirus, I am guessing that it will be not until at least a few months later. I'm asking because I also read that the layer of pad deposits from bedding them in will get worn away with regular Street driving, which is all I'll be doing for the next few months. Should I bother with bedding in these new pads?
