I totally get erring on the side of caution, but IMHO no. The main problem with stealth edits is if they make replies look out of context, but that's not a problem for many edits (and can always be acknowledged if it happens so it's clear what happened). But I also don't mind people doing it, if they are more comfortable with their writing that way that's their decision.
