Ok, does this drip leg need some mechanism for draining the water
out, or is there little enough of it that it's expected to evaporate
by itself?

Not just water, but dead birds, squirrels, etc get in there You want to be
able to clean it out in some manner.

Also, depending local climate, and on how much of the flue runs
through un-heated attic and above the roof line, you may get
significant condensation inside the pipe.
