To me restuffing any old cap still makes sense simply because of the fact that those were a time-appropriate choice for repairs and though not original still don't look out of place.
This said, restuffing caps is a personal choice and is nonessential.
After all most of us who restuff caps use modern resistors, very few going the way of Russ and making molds/painted plastic sleeves etc.
After all its not like we are keeping the tube duds on top and hiding a solid state radio underneath the chassis
it is still the same radio with the same circuitry working.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
