Is it advisable to rebuild directory of disks with DiskWarrior on a regular-basis, as routine maintenance?

Say, once a month, or if the Mac crashes/reboots unexpectedly, or you have to force shutdown? For Mac booting disks? Time Machine disks? Sparse bundle Disk Image made with Disk Utility? Other disks (non-booting) just with data?

Thanks.

I've never seen the need for that. In general I'd suggest to mess around with disks as little as possible.

No. Never. All those things can possibly do is to accelerate wear and a hard disk drive's eventual demise.

It's the height of absurdity to use it with solid state storage, which your profile indicates you have.

Do not use those things. I never have, and not in the nearly 30 years of using countless Macs with countless hard disk drives have I ever experienced a hard disk drive failure. Not one, ever. That is not a coincidence. It is a reason.

This site is full of reports of premature hard disk failure with a high correlation between that and the use of such utter garbage.

Macs do not need that kind of attention. They work best when treated with benign neglect.
