Bearings in a scooter are a great idea.

A scooter without bearings will work. For a short time. Then the point where the stationary (none turning) part touches the turning part will begin to got hot from friction and bind or will wear away so round parts will be flattened. Then the scooter will stop working well. Then the scooter will stop working at all. Lubrication the area will make it last longer but the result will only be delayed.

Properly designed and installed bearings between rotating and non-rotating parts are amazing things. They will roll between and with both parts reducing friction and wear so much that it can last years longer.

Yes, most bearings are the industrial standard of 8mm unless you have special longboard trucks, most notably Bear 1052's or 1045's or Bear Smokeys, these trucks run 10mm but are not very common. If you can take wheels off with the same wrench on both trucks, then they have the same size bearings.
