It is OK to be without it, but habitually it is used. However, in the case of numbers containing a zero in the middle, it is always needed.

Style guides disagree about 零 and 〇 but I think the rule on Duolingo is to use 〇 in years and use 零 everywhere else.

It depends on the context.
If it is a written statement, 是 is necessary; if it is a verbal statement, especially when the information in concern is known to be the time, such as replying to a question, it is not necessary.

Again, you are hilarious hypocritical when refused to accept 现在晚上十一点六分 but demanded to add "〇、零", lmao, it is 11:06 and they do not require the ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ "Zero" for this answer. Really?

It doesn't mean 'last' here, it's part of the word 晚上 which means 'in the evening'. Just like 在 is part of 现在 'now' instead of meaning 'be at'.
