In my experience yes and I use it myself as well, but with care. Optional parameters are a thing so when you're doing something like the author describe, you need to consider that your function is quietly receiving these parameters but just discarding them.

I see people using .filter(Boolean) a lot for example. If the signature of that were to change, for sure it wouldn't be something that quietly gets implemented, but I wouldn't pass formatting functions to these operations carelessly, especially in a codebase where there may not be tests. Some of the safer ways I've seen are use of unary helper functions to wrap the callback, or having the callback actually take the arguments but discarding them like (element, _index, _array). At least that way you communicate some intent.
