It’s not required, but it is a long standing convention with the justification that it makes for easier troubleshooting.

That's the realm side which should be upper case. The comment reference was for hostname themselves which I've always just done as lower case and have never seen a reason to make it upper case. The krb5.conf has a [domain_realm] section which can map a DNS name/suffix to the actual realm

    [domain_realm]
    .domain.com = DOMAIN.COM
    domain.com = DOMAIN.COM
