When listing used sets, do we have to include the brick separator to make it
complete?
I have a bunch of orange, but none in Dark Turquoise.

Actually, I believe the answer is no. For the same reason you don't need
to include additional plumes that came on a wheel for example. A brick separator
is not "necessary to build all the models in the instructions" As always,
if your used set listing differs from the actual Bricklink inventory, you should
note it in the description.

Complete - Set contains all parts necessary to build all of the models (including
alternate models) in the instructions but does not have to contain the original
box/packaging and/or extra parts.

Box have nothing to do with a complete set or not complete , you don`t need a
box to build your set .

You don't need a brick separator to build it either (unless it's somehow
used in the finished model).

What if you put a part in the wrong spot? Then you will need it to complete the
set.

I typically just use my hands, or another part (e.g. using a 1x2 brick to remove
a wrongly-placed 1x2 plate), to remove a part that's in the wrong spot.

That's what I usually do, but I've mastered the technique over the years.
Some one just getting into the hobby may have some difficulty.

The thing is tho. Pretty much everyone has at least 1 brick separator (it seems)

Good luck doing that with a tile

It will work with the "with groove" variant.
I would hate to have to remove the "without groove" variant.

No, the rules for Used sets are specific:

No, unless it's part of the model. Be that as it may, I always include one
because I have too many of them. In your case I would list the set as complete
with a note that an orange instead of Dark Turquoise brick separator is included.
