I would agree with 'should'. Lot's of dtmf out there still, but also out of band options (rfc 2833 / 4733) that make in-band carriage less a concern for SIP telephony applications.

Perhaps analog DTMF carriage is a SHOULD?

I agree that out-of-band is preferable, however, there still are scenarios where coded DTMF tones will be sent.  It would be nice (though IMHO not essential) for this carriage to work.

I totally agree. Out-of-band is much better than inband.

Sorry for my radical view but I believe that analog DTMF is an old and obsolete technology not worth considering anymore.
