No, I don't think that is good advice if given without a specific reason
to do so.
The expiry of a main key already establishes that others need to
periodically refresh the key, which will mean changes propagate.
There are reasons to use expiries on subkeys, but it is an expert option
and should just be left alone without a specific reason.
HTH,
Peter.
