If I’m not adding any hop additions in the boil and I’m not using corn do I need a 60 min boil?

Just wondering what the utility of a full 60 minute boil would be in this case

IME the only thing a 60 minute boil would get you is a higher OG and maybe some kettle camelization. Everything that needs to happen during a boil (hot break, sanitation and cold break) will theoretically happen with any length of boil. And don't let anyone scare you about DMS, as long as steam can escape during the entire boil and cooling is acieved relatively fast, boil length shouldn't cause a problem, even with 100% pilsner malt. Just my .02

My NEIPAs only get a 30 minute boil.

Color would be another factor. Take a look at the following recipe (first hop addition is @ 20):

where the directions suggest:

While you could go with a shorter boil, the 90 minute boil enhances the blood-red color.

FWIW, I've brewed it (and I'll brew it again).

There's no reason you can't do a shorter boil.
