If the conditional expression contains [variable modifiers](templates/variable-modifiers.md), braces should only be omited if the conditional is executed on a top-level variable (not Grid column or Fluid field element) and when there is only one check in the expression (no AND / OR operators).
In other words, you can only do following without braces:

{if grid_field:total_rows}

But you will need braces in there cases:

{if {grid_field:total_rows} AND {another_grid_field:total_rows}}
