Yes and no. LVM was introduced to allow flexibility in how you assign 
space. It lets you add drives, or migrate between drives, or resize a 
volume, or make some volumes raid and some volumes not, all on the fly. 
If you use something like btrfs or zfs, then you probably don't want to 
add an LVM layer as it just complicates things in a redundant fashion. 
If you have a set number of drives and partition the whole thing up as a 
single volume, then LVM may not be worth the effort. If you have a 
relatively dynamic environment, LVM is a big timesaver.

It can be somewhat complicated, and there are some gotchas in 
configuring things like raid, so for someone trying to put together an 
ordinary desktop that would be happy with one big partition and isn't 
likely to do an upgrade that isn't a full replacement, I probably 
wouldn't bother.
