Hi expert
I would like to know whether it is necessary to purchase NX-OS Essentials/Advantage license for Nexus 9300?
I just want to use it for basic connectivity

If you use the N9K in production, the licensing is always mandatory. If you use it for lab, then nobody will ask anything, and all features will work since licensing is honor based.
Depending on the features you are interested, you can check this guide: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/nx-os/licensing/guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_Licensing_Guide/b_Cisco_NX-OS_Licensing_Guide_chapter_01.html#concept_A21339E151D445DE858588C4664277A0
Stay safe,
