This is up to you as the packager. I would say it's a really good
idea, but it depends if you want to deal with upstream not playing by
the rules. There are already some upstreams doing things like

I do new builds nearly every day, but the builds that are shipped in
gnome-software and pushed to users is usually updated every month or
so.
