If your versions have ITL then you would need to use certificate consolidation or manually exchange certificates so that phones will trust the new cluster's certificates, if you do not do that, then yes, you would need to delete the ITL (and CTL if used) from every phone prior to pointing them to the new cluster.
The topic of moving phones between clusters has been discussed many times, a quick google search will provide lots of references.

Are you creating a new cluster or are you creating a new publisher and restoring a DRS backup on the new one?

Since you are building a new cluster from scratch, and want to do safe phones migration, you have 4 solutions as I can see.
My preferred approach will be certificate consolidation as it is safe, and you can migrate phones based on per floor, or per building, or per VLAN, as desired, and also migrate phones back and forth between clusters.
