Do I really need a guide for Langtang Valley?

There's no enforcement loophole worth chasing. Checkpoints at Dhunche check guide cards. Daily rates start around NPR 3,500. The upside is that a good Langtang guide knows community-rebuilt teahouses post-2015.

No, you can't skip it. Dhunche checkpoint will turn you back without a registered guide card.

Booked a Tamang guide for NPR 3,500/day. He grew up in Briddim village and got us access to a homestay that's not on Booking.
