Depends on how much you are feeding them. If you feed heavily the plant can produce more on an unpruned plant. If you want fewer but bigger fruit then nip out.
I never bother, I just keep up the watering and the sheep poo, but I need heaps of fruit for all my preserves for winter.

I'm only 5'5" so when the plant gets to 6ft+ it starts getting hard for me to deal with lol so I pinch it out at head height
