Is it common practice to turn on GC logging in production Java server?

I see in a few places [1] people start the GC logging in production servers (mission critical), e.g.

java -server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:NewSize=256m \
     -XX:MaxNewSize=256m \
     -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC \
     -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=70
     -XX:+PrintGCDetails \
     -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps \
     -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution \
     -Xloggc:logs/gc.log \
     -Djava.awt.headless=true
     -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -classpath ...

Is it recommend practices in production env these days?

Update: I have included a link [2] from Oracle also suggest to monitor GC on production servers.
