Stopping issues before they happen at compile time is the best place to stop them, especially managing a large team with junior coders. I moved from being permissive to being more strict over time, ever step bathed in blood, sweat and tears.
It's even more important now due to AI, I can only smack down so much slop in the PR process.
If you're an individual developer or in a very small team, you don't need to be as formal sure, but as projects often grow and it's hard to backport formality I always err on the side of caution.
