My different machines never bunch up threads.Use the leader/ender method for years. Don't have threads all over my home or my projects. It saves thread.You get a head start on another project.Seems like a win/win to me, WHY NOT?

There is a neat book By Bonnie Hunter called Adventures With Leaders and Enders. Gives patterns of what you can do with your leaders and enders. To answer your question - I use leaders most all the time and always when chain piecing.
