I would. I learned unix by looking at examples of layouts and
scripts in the home dorectories of more experienced people, and I
have continuted the tradition. I understood when certain directories
did not have read/execute permission (mail, etc), and kept out of
them; but the open by default serves well for the most part. The
majority of stuff in my home directory is shareable.
As for root, there is absolutely nothing in /root that is not
wide open for people to read. sekrit information can still be put in
sekrit directories.
