No, a Pi5 is not needed. I find moOde performance to be quite adequate on a Pi3A+ or a Pi Zero 2 W. The Pi3B+ and Pi4B are fine.
In any case, it's unlikely a version of moOde which boots and runs on a Pi5 is available before next spring.
The Pi headphone jack is workable but even a cheap DAC HAT likely will outperform it (an IQaudio DAC Pro is USD25 here). I'm long past the age where my hearing was 20-20kHz, but I can still hear the difference in quality.
You can always start with a bare minimum setup and go up from there as you see fit.
