It probably depends if you have a good baker near you. (I really don't although some of the local "craft" breads carried by a couple local stores aren't bad.)

But philosophically, it makes a lot of sense generally. You're not going to make everything from scratch or near-scratch so it makes sense to focus on the stuff you can't readily buy or which you genuinely enjoy the making process.

It really depends on the kind of bread you like too. It's true for bog standard wheat sourdoughs and stuff but not for more complex breads like borodinsky [1] which has steps that take several days and include everything from boiling water to molasses.
