Passed blower door test. Is makeup air still needed?

We are renovating our nearly 100 year old house and installing a 48 inch dual fuel range. We just did the blower door test and passed so that our contractor says we can put any CFM hood we want without need for makeup air. There were 12.2 air changes per hour. Given this, is it ok to not use makeup air at all or would people still recommend doing some level of makeup air? We plan on getting a variable CFM hood up to max of 900 or 1100 though realistically would very rarely need to use it on max speed. Appreciate any advice on this. Thanks
