>>13279025writing by hand is mandatory in japanese schools and if you're learning it as a second language in school they'll usually test you on the very common ones, but that's probably less than 100 of them and many of those are very similar.
if you're teaching yourself with the intent of living/working in japan the only kanji you need to write by hand is your address. i mean think about how often you write anything by hand as is and how much of that you'd be able to type up on your phone/computer and use as a reference while you write if you really needed to
