Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while you realize that they like it

If you have higher walls (over 9') or a lack of lateral support at the top of the wall, then that justifies engineering. High lateral loads due to the decision to not install proper drainage can also require engineering. If the soil is questionable, that will also require engineering.
In the big picture, a rigid wall (block or concrete) has enough strength to distribute the loads and create a structural member far more rigid than the footing in the vertical direction.
The only footing design usually essential when you have a cantilever situation since vertical strength is rarely a problem unless too many simplifying assumptions are made.

Good point above, local code folks sometimes have minimum requirements so you don't need to chase this. Also, they sometimes allow "local practices" to be used.
Good luck.

The code you're thinking of is ACI 332, not ACI 318.

NY State accepts this code for residential concrete.
