I keep my sensor as spotless as possible. Examining any of my fits you won't find any dust motes to speak of. I find I am better off manually removing any residual defects by zooming in and using a clone tool.
Some clean, some don't. Take your pick. Why not the best of both worlds - a clean sensor cover with any minor defects flat corrected?

Flat calibration is more than just dust spots. For me the biggest benefit of flats is getting rid of vignetting. And it's infinitely quicker/easier/more reliable than trying to correct vignetting in post using ABE/DBE or something.
