Real Estate Law differs from state to state. But if you have a mortgage, the lender really dictates whether you seek clear title, and they should because in essence they own your home and they didn't seek to buy it, you did and you are asking them to borrow their money.
I would NEVER ever pass on getting Title Insurance on a resale, anywhere, ever and from any other entity, even if I were paying cash. And I am not promoting anyone else doing what we did.
