Certainly you need to run nessusd somewhere.  However, that was not what was
asked.  The question was "do I need to install a server version of Linux or
can I install workstation".  I think people answering "yes you need to
install the server" were thinking faster than they were reading when
answering the question

What possibly could go wrong?

I think what was being referred to is the Nessus server, not a server
distribution of Linux.  You do need to run nessusd for your Nessus
client to log into.
