Only when there is ample evidence that the integer komi is in fact the
perfect-play "true" komi.
I'd say we have such evidence for 7x7, but certainly not for 9x9.

The fact that Zen won all its games, both with black and white, means that most,
if not all competitors are far enough away from perfect play to to
make komi adjustments
unnecessary.

Another viewpoint is that, as long as tournaments are double round
robin, two top programs
that practically always beat the other with white, will have the same
balanced score, whether
one win and one loss in case of non-integer komi, or two jigo in case
of integer komi.
