Is it a sin not to use nearest-texel filtering?

Should one always go for the best possible filtering, or are there certain times where you should willfully settle for something more primitive? For instance, many Quake players swear by using nearest neighbor textures, even with the presence of other relatively modern effects.

Does it ruin the "retro aesthetic" to add visual enhancements that weren't available at the time of the games?
