No. Selector-chains like that will add specificity and target-precision
in multi-container layouts, but that's the same in old and new browsers.
An ID or a class on body is often used (that way) to target _which_
pages _which_ styles are affecting, when you have several page-designs
or page-looks in the same site-wide (set of) stylesheet(s).
If the IDE generates that kind of selector-chains _all_ the time - that
IDE is just producing unnecessary, nonsensical, garbage. All you'll end
up with is huge file-sizes on those stylesheets, and a clean-up and
maintenance-nightmare.
