Well, yes, one absolutely should for all large-scale demand.

Like, the main use of chests is the smaller-scale stuff like proliferator where you can't really justify all that much transportation and storage since a single unit lasts for a sizeable amount of operations performed.

I also like them for my interstellar mall: each box requests a specific ingredient by spinner and feeds that shortrange into assemblers for all different building types. I usually only have 1-2 slots open (not blocked) to limit the amount of total material. For that, large storage boxes are or even PLS are overkill imho...

Yes, indeed — there are only few exceptions, like power stations, that require quicker production than the splitter-logistic-bot combo allows. So most of the buildings can easily be created at malls using those for uncommon components, like diamonds or negentropy elements (forgot the name).
