❔ WPF Date entry Forms MVVM

Hello, I don't understand in WPF when I should use MVVM and when I shouldn't. For example, i'm loading a data entry forms into a region that i've hard coded in XAML :

<UserControl [...]
        <Grid Grid.Row="3" >
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ComboBox Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedComboBox}" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Gender" ItemsSource="{Binding Genders}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedGender}" />
            <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="First Name and Last Name" Text="{Binding FullName}" />
        </Grid>

        <Grid Grid.Row="4">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <TextBox Grid.Column="0" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Length" Text="{Binding Length}" />
            <TextBox Grid.Column="1" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Day" Text="{Binding Day}" />
        </Grid>

        <TextBox Grid.Row="5" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Work To Do" Text="{Binding WorkToDo}" />
    </Grid>
    
</UserControl>

<UserControl [...]
        <Grid Grid.Row="3" >
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ComboBox Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedComboBox}" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Gender" ItemsSource="{Binding Genders}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedGender}" />
            <TextBox Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="First Name and Last Name" Text="{Binding FullName}" />
        </Grid>

        <Grid Grid.Row="4">
            <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
            </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <TextBox Grid.Column="0" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Length" Text="{Binding Length}" />
            <TextBox Grid.Column="1" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Day" Text="{Binding Day}" />
        </Grid>

        <TextBox Grid.Row="5" materialDesign:TextFieldAssist.HasClearButton="True" Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignOutlinedTextBox}" Margin="8" materialDesign:HintAssist.Hint="Work To Do" Text="{Binding WorkToDo}" />
    </Grid>
    
</UserControl>

Would it be better to use an ItemsControl and define the elements in ViewModel ? Thanks in advance
