Whether a navigable TOC is useful depends on your audience. You know the navigable TOC is going to be find-able in the book; whether the toc.ncx settings get used depends on the reader's awareness of the device's option. Not everyone wants to punish readers who are fairly clueless about the tech they're using, or who are borrowing a friend's device and have no idea where the TOC settings are.

However, I grant that for most linear texts, TOCs are pretty much a distraction.
