Do you think Bromptons need the classic, standard kickstand? I think so(when parking in hilly areas).

Nah. Folding under back wheel is sufficient. Very rare I park on hills thankfully.
Honestly? I think if you use a rear rack or trailer a kickstand can be helpful. You can’t fold the wheel if you have stuff strapped to a rack, and from experience, folding the wheel under when a trailer (in my case a Travoy) is attached is dicey. However, I’ve made do without a kickstand.
Not on my Brompton and if parking on a slope, you still need to angle it anyway on both kickstand and parking mode.
