Does Garmin Epic need a Garmin Connect+ subscription?

No. At least ten features are confirmed new. These six are covered in detail so far; the rest, including a new Ski Erg indoor profile, Dynamic Battery mode naming, inReach satellite weather, Rolling GAP, an on-device watch face editor and Field Tools, are listed in the full rollout breakdown.
