I assume the question is around stable tree, not LTS.
We have LTS trees: 16.11, 17.11, 18.11
And a stable tree valid for one release, latest stable tree will be: 18.08.x

In the existence of the LTS, do we need to keep stable tree?

16.11 will have latest release and later EOL. For one release there are three
LTS, other times two.
