Why not just purchase 12' studs? Or have you already purchased all of your lumber for the project in 8' lengths?
I live in a house that is sided with wood clapboards nailed directly to the studs, no sheathing. This thing has been standing for 130 years, so unless local code dictates otherwise, you should be fine with just clapboards. Personally though, as inexpensive as it would be, I would sheath and wrap it before installing the siding.
