No, it's not bad. The configuration depends on how you sign and
distribute the puppet agent's certificate. If you have a process to
generate and distribute the certs during system provisioning, it's
perfectly fine to require validation of client cert. I actually prefer
this method and it's not difficult to implement. However if you expect
the client to submit a CSR to be signed either manually via puppet
cert --sign or autosigned based on some rules in autosign.conf then
this should be configured optional.

Thanks,
