I used to always as well. Damping off was a problem for me so I stopped. I know the benefits and I too left them on but got used to not using them and hardly ever now have a problem with damping off. But about the same time I started using Hydrogen Peroxide solution on a regular basis.
If using a dome and you have no probs I would keep using it :-)
I have a problem with over watering. I acknowledge it.
