Do you need to train to failure to make significant gains?

Yes and no.

"No" in the sense that leaving a rep or two in the tank is still a high enough level of effort to build muscle at or near your maximum potential.

But "yes" in the sense that... how can you know where a rep or two short of failure is if you've never actually trained to real failure in the first place?

As @jpgcoaching mentions here, most people significantly under estimate their true proximity to failure and think they're much closer than they actually are.

This is especially true on big compound movements (particularly lower body exercises) that involve heavier loads and greater overall systemic stress.

The total body discomfort these lifts produce is more likely to cause you to terminate the set early even if the targeted muscle still has quite a few potential reps remaining.

Remember, true muscular failure is exactly that: muscular failure.

It's where you can't physically perform another rep in proper form despite your best effort.

The level of mental discomfort you feel is irrelevant - as long as the weight is still moving with solid technique then you haven't failed yet.

In any case, the bottom line is that, while training to failure is not a must in the absolute sense in order to build muscle effectively (though when it comes to achieving maximum long term gains I'd say including at least some all out sets here and there has benefits)...

It IS a must for the obvious reason that pushing yourself to the limit will teach you what failure actually is, and thus what 1 rep in reserve, 2 reps in reserve etc. is as well.
