Is there an actual reason to de-magnar your libraries? The main reason I use them is they provide some concise approaches to common operations. I get that later emacs have introduced similar functions but I try and maintain support for as wide a range of emacs versions add possible.

I guess it depends on whether you want to have less dependencies and support more Emacs versions, for the opposite.

If I am supplying functions for others, I generally like to keep the dependencies low, just use standard libraries built into Emacs, so I think this could be helpful.
