Nathan,

the datasheet says you should

I use ultrafast diodes on the outputs of the L298, otherwise it would
be a junker almost immediately, even with the smallest of steppers

For DC motors I always include something like an MUR1560 and a
Schottky plus at least one filter cap right at the motor terminals
