You Bet!
No use letting all that good technology go to waste for the sake of a visual.
The more backup information that you can have for an approach, whether it's a full ILS or a visual, the more you've got going for you.
Unstabilised approaches have led to more accidents and incidents in this industry than many of us would care to mention.

With widebody aircraft that have long fuselages, it is rather easy to misplace the gear for the landing....an ILS helps...or a properly interperated VASI or PAPI.

Best be safe than sorry.
