From the docs:

https://docs.oracle.com/goldengate/c1230/gg-winux/OGGIN/installing-oracle-goldengate.htm#OGGIN-GUID-981A4544-76F7-406A-BA2B-62256F0210B9

"Oracle Databases must be in ARCHIVELOG mode so that Extract can process the log files."

To double check, I downloaded the health check script from Doc ID 1448324.1. It also references archive logs throughout.

But goldengate aside, I can't imagine ever running a production system without archivelog.
