Default Brake retainer/antirattle clip

Did my rear brakes and forgot to reinstall the retainer clip for the inner pad.Oops. I tested and did a 200 mile stop and go through small towns and rough roads.How necessary is this clip.?.I realize that as the pad wears,it may rattle without the clip,but the pads fit very tight so should I worry ? The only purpose I see is that it may stop rattling .
