For style guides targeting ES6 only code, yes. They should simply advocate
opting into strict mode in some way, and the preferred choice is unlikely
to be "use strict";. For ES5, or for any code that must work on pre-ES6
browsers, "use strict"; is of course the only way to opt in to strict mode.
I was thinking in terms of styles guides that anyone might write in the
next three years.
