RabbitMQ is on docker, its more or less the same work to launch as Redis these days.
(It can take a bit more tuning so I think it is unfair to say it is the SAME work, but it is seriously not a huge deal to run RabbitMQ in the post docker world)
Is Docker really necessary for this? I've never had any trouble just installing RabbitMQ from the package manager, and running it with only a tiny bit of initial configuration.
Well, if for example your entire infrastructure is in K8s, then yes you kind of need docker.
Redis vs RabbitMQ stateful-set.yaml would be me or less the same, and something like 20 lines of yaml.
I was never a big fan of docker for running some thing on a server, but once you start to go down the K8s path, it finally makes sense.
