Funny you should ask, I’ve just updated the Q & A, and something very similar cropped up:

What will the villagers do if they don’t have anything to do, do they have their own will? - Livestream - 20:15 New

“Now we have one action which is idle, but they should have their own little agendas, their own souls. Sometimes they’ll look around, perhaps take a toy and play with it, if they’re tired they’ll go to sleep, they should all have hobbies … if there’s nothing for them to do, they’ll find something to do.”

So, yes they’ll have needs of some form of needs, including eating and drinking and sleeping.
