Do modern aircraftsaircraft require pilot's rudder input in order to perform a coordinated turn?

With today's state-of-the-art electronic systems in modern aircraftsaircraft, do pilots of aircraftsaircraft equipped with autopilot systems, still need to applyrequire pilot rudder input to keep a turn coordinated?

For the context, I'm assuming the pilot is hand-flying the aircraft so the autopilot must be at least partially disengaged to let the pilot manually initiate and perform the turn via the yoke/stick, but still make the rudder use unnecessary or optional.

For example, would aan F-16 pilot still need to apply the rudder during a turn? If the military case is not generic enough, how about an airliner'sairliner pilot? orOr a GA aircraft like the Cirrus SR22?
