Our potential fifth player just bailed on us and by early declarations we've got a Tiefling Warlock, a Human fighter and a Human Sorceror. In earlier versions of D&D I would have been sure that we needed a cleric but in 5e I'm not sure.

Not really. Even if you have a cleric it's only occasionally worth it for a cleric to spend slots healing people instead of just burning down the opposition. It is good to have some healing though, so unless the Sorc or Warlock is doing a build with some heals (I think both can, at least with UA), it would be good for the last player to have some. There are plenty of classes to chose from to get a few heals though.
