If you're using the epub and mobi for yourself, no reason. If you're planning to sell it, Amazon has rejected a lot of files made with Calibre, over the last few years, starting in 2010, and on-and-off through now. Now, mostly off, and even books made with Scrivener are occasionally being rejected. So, the answer is: it depends. ;-)

With regard to the ePUB, I prefer to make my own, over Calibre's coding. A lot.
