Do I need to use support structures for overhangs in PLA prints?

I’ve been printing with PLA on a Prusa MK3 using the stock profile. Some overhangs at 45 degrees start to sag, so I added supports. I’m wondering if this is normal or if others usually tweak the settings instead of adding supports. What are the typical settings for overhangs in PLA, and when should you add supports? Also, any tips for keeping the print quality high without too much support material would be appreciated.
