Can I use WinRM instead of creating Windows credentials for Discovery?

Hi Team,
We're planning to switch from WMI to WinRM for Windows discovery to avoid the dynamic port and firewall issues that come with WMI.
We came across the MID Server parameter mid.windows.management_protocol and set it to WinRM as per the documentation.
Our question is:
Do we still need to create Windows credentials in ServiceNow when using WinRM? Or can the MID Server service account be used directly without creating a credential record?
From what we’ve read, it looks like WinRM still requires authentication, but we want to confirm whether we can avoid creating separate Windows credentials and instead rely on the MID Server service account
Has anyone used WinRM in production without creating Windows credentials? Any guidance or gotchas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
