We are in our first year of starting a small LLC. We are using Quickbooks Online and things are going well. The only exception is that, due to our lines of credit and bank accounts being personal (shared with business), we are having trouble reconciling our accounts. Is this completely necessary? If so, why?

I would suggest opening a new account (credit card and bank) for just your business. This protects you in multiple ways, but is no bigger burden for you other than carrying another card in your wallet. Then QB can download the transactions from your website and reconciling is a cinch.
If you got audited, you'd be in for a world of pain right now.
From personal experience there are a few charges that go unnoticed that reconciling finds every month at our business. We have a very strict process in place, but some things slip through the cracks.
