Yes, but not more than necessary. Given enough reverb, a well-programmed virtual orchestra is indistinguishable from a badly programmed one (or even a bad sample library): The flaws are hidden, sure, but so are the merits! If you take the trouble to do it well from the start you might find that you don't need as much crazy post-processing, and we'll be able to hear all those neat little details you put in. Otherwise it's like putting on an inch-thick layer of make-up, claiming it's necessary, when you're really just too lazy just to wash your face first.
