I don't see why it shouldn't be more of a priority, both for readers
to use them and for editors (not that there are so many editors :-) to
keep them up-to-date when a page is changed.  For slow systems it's
more important.  Of course I'm thinking about largish scanned
documents here; if the document has enough structure, with the tree of
links to every section, then I wouldn't miss the thumbnails as much.
