I do. It can't hurt to engage them a bit more.
I've noticed I perform the lift better when I engage my core/glutes and often can lift heavier too

when in doubt, squeeze your glutes, even when in prison ^_^

It definitely helps, at least personally, and you certainly wouldn't lose anything by trying it out. It helps a lot of people with their form, too.
