The counterpoint is that you should just keep your images at 10 bit minimum or 12+ bit until the OS/monitor can dither for you. Lossy compression will do much better with a 10/12 bit image than a dithered 8 bit one.

Absolutely! Higher precision is always better. But if you must go as low as 8bits, you should dither.
