It applies to close hauled and reaches and running too (The vang is most needed / effective when the sheets are looser when reaching or running).. You should relax the vang on a reach or running but you still don't want to spill the wind on the upper 3rd by having the leach opened -- Unless you want to de-power.
The telltales are certainly important but don't always tell the whole story. I have seen it where my leach was (A bit) too open / spilling wind yet the telltale was fine. When you're looking for max speed, the fact that there's no silver bullet is part of why it's so much fun.

The last foot or so at the leech. Telltales on the leech are a better tool for fine tuning.
