It really depends on what you want to achieve, but I'd say no, in
general.

I would simply use a bare time-stamp like this

Use C-c . to insert the active time-stamp, or C-c ! to insert an
inactive one, or use shift-up/down on the brackets to switch from
active to inactive.

In any case, using a time-stamp in CUSTOM_ID does not seem to be a
good idea, as this id will be used as an anchor in various contexts
(link search, HTML, etc.) So better use a bare time-stamp I'd say.
