Sure. Some people reboot their servers weekly,
too.
For
the average deployment, offline defragging using eseutil as a regular
maintenance tool remains a complete waste of time and
resources.(Read: reclamation of whitespace that will be reused
anyway)

Exchange's online defragmentation is great for defragmenting
and reclaiming white space; however, this process does not reduce the size of
the database file. So, if you move a large amount of data from your
databases (e.g., you purge a whole lot of messages; you move a whole lot of
mailboxes; etc.) then performing an offline defragmentation using ESEUTIL is
completely acceptable maintenance that does not need the hand-holding or
blessing of PSS to perform.
If you aren't move large amounts of data out of your
databases, and you aren't running into any storage limitations (e.g., because
you are running Standard or because you're running out of disk space), then
running ESEUTIL won't provide much, if any, benefits.
So, whether or not this is a regular maintenance tool really
depends on your environment. For the large majority of Exchange orgs, it
probably won't be a regular maintenance tool.
