I've run kvm guests directly, without virsh installed, while also managing them from the console. Thus, whether you actually need virsh depends on your requirements and environment.
What you are saying is true, But inmho, virsh give you far more control over the VM (eg: snapshots, connecting devices live etc). While you may be able to do the same without virsh, using it to me is much easier, specially if you are doing it remotely.
Virsh does seem to have some nice features, but I don't really need them. All I want is start, stop, and console access. That said I'll investigate Craig's suggestions to see if I can make virsh do what I want, that would be the easiest solution.
