Are both sentences OK?
Don't go out unless absolutely necessary.
Don't leave home unless absolutely necessary.
Or I should say,
Don't go out unless it's absolutely necessary.
Don't leave home unless it's absolutely necessary.

Don't go out unless absolutely necessary. - great

Or I should say,
Don't go out unless it's absolutely necessary. - also great
Don't leave home unless it's absolutely necessary. - also great
Summary: Great :)
Use them all as you wish,.
PS had to loook up "elided" - technical word. Was beyond my experience. Might want to limit its use to language lessons. :)

They are both correct, but it sounds natural in conversation to add the "it's". The first one would be mainly as a public announcement, if you are making something like a poster which needs to be formal.

All four sentences are entirely correct, the "it's" being elided but understood in the first two.
