I think so, yes.  Because, as  you wrote: "it may cause future problems"

That's exactly why it should always be done even when it seems to be
equivocal or not a particular issue at the time.

Many moms have this wonderfully abundant oversupply at the beginning
that can mask/overcome a variety of less than perfect issues
(infrequent feeds, high palates, tongue ties etc) but over time as
supply downregulates, problems crop up.  They assume the supply is
decreasing which to them is a natural segway into weaning.
