No, it is not. Unless you want everyone to do DMARC p=reject.

First DMARC deals very well with forwarding, if the message remains unaltered 
during forwarding, which happens in many cases: forwarding an email between 
gmail and yahoo, will keep DKIM valid, if not mistaken.

A lot of senders that moved to p=reject have found that forwarders that break 
DKIM, are for them, and I repeat for them, not an issue in comparison to the 
spoofing problem.

So DMARC p=reject is not for all, and if you want to use it, you need to change 
all your mail streams, which for some is not a simple task and only motivated 
if there is something to gain.
