Restructuring can be invasive, and there's always potential for some sort of breakage. Granted, that will be rare, but the possibility is still there. Think javascript coded in such a way that hard-coded paths and folder structures are relevant. Files with identical names, but it in different subfolders, should be safely renamed when restructured, but that renaming is still invasive and could potentially break something.
But if you're just using Sigil to edit typical novels there's probably no real advantage to leaving alternatively structured epubs as they are (aside from less processing and altering of the original in general)

Assuming we haven't broken anything major with the new Restructure tool, then no, there's no reason (other than the ones already mentioned above, that is).
