It depends on whether you play with and/or for others. If you don't, knock yourself out. It's your axe, right?
If you do play with/for others, mf'ing please tune that thing. It will make the experience easier and better for all concerned, and the guitar/strings are designed to do it.
On the other end of the pendulum swing, there's a session bass player, Anthony Jackson, who used to, and perhaps still does, change his strings every time he played. (I assume he tuned them, as well.) I find that to be expensive overkill, but I'm not him.
Regardless on what you decide, play that thing.
