can anybody tell me if it's necessary to add supplementary earthing when replacing a plastic switch for a metal one, i.e adding and additional earth wire to the switch, even if the back plate is earthed ?

YES

Connect the earth wire directly to the earth terminal of the switch and a strapper to the back box
