SSL Configuration

If I am planning to redirect all http traffic to https via htaccess, is there any need/recommendation to set PERCH_SSL to true?

i.e. does this setting control anything other than "when PERCH_SSL is set to true the Perch control panel will switch to HTTPS automatically"?

No, there's no need to. PERCH_SSL was useful when people had mixed environments with some pages in SSL and some not. When your whole site is HTTPS (or the whole site is not, e.g. in your dev environment) then it doesn't matter.
