I suppose it depends on your clients. I host mostly small to medium business sites, bounce on reverse DNS at my gateway and only get a question once or twice a year, where I assist some clueless Email Admin about contacting his ISP to set up the proper reverse DNS.
I explain to them that we are in line with AOL, Hotmail, Google and others that have policies against missing Reverse DNS to show that he may have FOUND the problem by trying to email US, but that in fact, his emails to most places on the Internet are being silently deleted, held or flagged as SPAM - without giving him a warning as WE do.

I'm getting to the point where if a mail server doesn't have a reverse DNS then I'm thinking the heck with them.... --- [This E-mail was scanned by Declude] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
