That's a matter of opinion.

HylaFAX relies on Ghostscript having a default MaxStripSize that is
large enough. The default that used to be 0 (unlimited) was changed to a
small value that broke HylaFAX. In a recent version the default has been
changed again to a value that seems to be big enough. Who knows what
might get changed in future versions of Ghostscript.

I think it's a good idea to make HylaFAX more robust by explicitly
specifying parameters for Ghostscript and maybe checking the resulting
TIFF file.

In the HylaFAX mailing list a message was posted with a link to a
version that checks the TIFF file created by Ghostscript and modifies it
if necessary. IIRC this patch is included in HylaFAX+. The scripts in
HylaFAX+ may be different from HylaFAX, but it should be possible to
copy the mechanism to appropriate places in HylaFAX.
