In coding as in life, when in doubt leave it out.
If something isn't needed it's usually simplest to not go out of your
way to add it.
The message path is fine.
It works reliably, and with as much efficiency as the team can throw at
it. In most cases it's not only the easiest thing to type and the most
efficient to execute, its simplicity and predictability also aid
debugging and maintenance.
For those times when you need an exception to the message path, LC
provides many. Send, do, call, dispatch, etc. - each has their own
unique set of tradeoffs that make it a good fit for the specific
circumstance where the native message path isn't what you need.
But those are for exceptional circumstances.
The native message path is the norm of this language.
