When you say "fairly large" do you mean "a large web app" on top of Express? If so don't worry about it. If you are doing something less "frameworked". Something like custom (text/audio/video) (processing/compression/analysis). You would probably be reinventing Streams if you're not explicitly using them. Meanwhile, apart from implementing Streams, I can't think of a good usecase for EventEmmiter that isn't already in a framework like Express or Socket.io (Someone please enlighten me).
