Milter implies doing the filtering during the SMTP transaction. I consider the ability to reject messages that SpamAssassin declares as (bad enough) spam at SMTP time to be a good thing.

I use spamass-milter on my system and amavisd-milter on other systems especially to be able to reject spam at SMTP time. Definitely a good thing.

You just should not use it for "outgoing" mail from your clients, so they don't complain about sending mail taking ages.

You may need to limit SA processing to some 270 seconds to avoid 5-minutes timeout (which contradicts RFC5321 section 4.5.3.2.6. which mandates 10-minute timeout on DATA termination, but here we are).
