Hmmm, depends on the type

Yes, indeed so.

In the good 'ole B707, you needed quite a fistful of aileron/spoilers into the wind, just as the rotation was commenced.
Not much before.

Likewise with the Lockheed TriStar.

Those who rapidly charge down the runway from a standing start with full aileron from the get go are seemingly applying DC-3 procedures in a jet.

Incorrectly..........accept at rotation, as needed.
