No.

Retpolines mitigate Spectre v2 attacks. If you're not vulnerable to
Spectre v2, you don't need retpolines.

All processors which support CET *also* have hardware mitigations
against Spectre v2 and don't need retpolines. Here's all of the
possibilities:

CET=y, BUG_SPECTRE_V2=y: does not exist
CET=n, BUG_SPECTRE_V2=y: vulnerable, use retpoline
CET=y, BUG_SPECTRE_V2=n: no retpoline, not vulnerable
CET=n, BUG_SPECTRE_V2=n: no retpoline, not vulnerable
