Without it then 4G is used for data but 3G is used for voice calls, so may have different signal availability between the two.

I'm pretty sure VoLTE is a required part of a 5G service so as Virgin Media have already announced they will doing 5G plans, then I'd expect that VoLTE will appear at some point.
Wherever EE have 4G1800 or 4G2600, they have 2G or 3G as well - this is required in order that non-VoLTE calls fallback on those legacy technologies.

In order to make voice calls on 4G and allow seamless handover between WiFi & mobile you need VoLTE which is also why EE's 800Mhz coverage is restricted to direct-PAYM customers.

EE PAYG customers will be the next to get VoLTE access.
