While this is definitely a good choice, I'd say it's not the only one.
I have quite some of my circuits in wooden enclosures, and I'm not
plagued with RF interference at all. (But then I try to take a lot of care
about the circuit layout - I won't have sensitive high impedance parts
go over long wires for instance.)
I'd say a metal enclosure is not always necessary, but *if* you have
a metal enclosure, then grounding it (with a C at least) is a must.
