Yes, line of sight is very important for this. You want all of the anchors (the fixed, non-moving devices) up as high as you can get them, and you need their positions to be known with precision, or the location of the tags will be off by a large amount.
There are also limitations with UWB that must be understood very well and designed around in order for a successful deployment of any size.
There is no way I can fit everything I learned about this system/technology into an HN comment.
I recommend getting the $300 kit and experimenting extensively to find out if the technology is suitable for your environment.
