Exactly! I work with a lot of high-performance code and also a lot of non-high-performance code (think all the plumbing around the core computation) and I definitely use a lot of "clean code patterns" in the non-performance-critical parts. They're the ones that tend to change more, that more people touch, that get done faster... It's just about knowing what to use and when.
