"explicitely calling destructors" is a bit vague in this context. you
question should rather be termed: "is it considered 'good practice' to
explicitely call destructors on exit".

anyhow, i believe "good practice" depends on a number of factors; so you
cannot simply say that using CamelCase is good practice whereas using
hungarian notation is bad practice.

personally, i prefer if the program does call dtors on exit, since there
are a number of ressources that cannot be automatically freed by the
operating system due to their very nature. if your Pd-patch controls the
facilities in your flat, you might want it to shut off the light if the
patch is powered down in order to save energy. the operating system most
likely will not send the appropriate commands to your arduino....
