Do I need to purchase the full “kit” for chip cards or can the basic square work for all?

you can use the free square reader but you will be liable for any fraud due to the changes the credit card industry changed last year.  see this article.  https://squareup.com/emv-liability-shift

 

the chip reader is only $49 and is a good investment in security.  https://squareup.com/shop/hardware/us/en/products/chip-credit-card-reader-with-nfc

 

You may never have an issue but just one time and you will more than have paid for the chip reader.  I have 5 chip readers and they work great.
