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.
