Only if you can safely assume a single language for all your tickets.
That may be true for your case but it certainly isn't for mine.
We run several trac instances with mixed Japanese/English tickets.

What qualifies as punctuation in Japanese? In any other language? Can
the plugin make assumptions as to what language a ticket summary is in,
in general? Can it do so when it knows the ticket's character encoding?
Not necessarily saying it is a problem for the plugin, but it is most
certainly not trivial to ignore punctuation.
For that matter, splitting on whitespace sucks when you use Japanese
(which normally doesn't use whitespace). Splitting should be done on
word boundaries. Hopefully 0.12 will address at least some of these
issues for non-POSIX locales.
Hope this helps,
