They allow only 2,500 requests per key, so I must use client-side and use user's IP for requests. Do I need to use API key for google maps API for client-side applications? What if I don't and they found out? Would my domain get banned?

In order to embed a Google Map iframe without api key add a Google Map widget from the left side panel. Then open it and add the address. This way you can embed Google Map without api key via Elementor.
The API key is a unique identifier that authenticates requests associated with your project for usage and billing purposes. You must have at least one API key associated with your project. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.
A web page or application displays a map using the Maps JavaScript API.
It is still possible to enable Maps API without billing, but it has to be done through the Cloud SDK console.
To answer your first question, no you do not need a key on the client-side if you expect your application to make less than 25,000 map loads per day. If you don't have a key, and you reach the limit for 90 consecutive days - they will contact you about it and ask you to purchase a license (not shut their services down from your site). For more info read Usage Limits and Billing from the API docs.
