Gonna politely disagree with this. Do what is most creatively and artistically fulfilling to YOU as a musician. Whether that be tuning your vocals or slaving away to get that perfect natural take. There is no one-size-fits-all rule besides having fun!

Personally I like all the imperfections a natural vocal gives to certain genres. While pitch perfection may be needed in things like melodic metal or whatnot, in things like shoegaze or indie rock or even pop(!) I like hearing all the mistakes
I'm the type of person who kinda gets bored if its "too perfect". And as a producer I like to simply comp together different takes or even just live with an imperfect yet interesting vocal all in one take.
As long as its not jarringly dissonant its fine. And even then...

Again I think its about what is fulfilling to you. I think its valid to want to stay away from pitch correction if keeping things natural makes you happy. Likewise tune the shit out of them if you like the sound. Either or is fine, you don't NEED to do one or the other.
And don't be afraid to take vocal lessons as well. It will definitely help with live stuff if thats your forte. Pitch correction can become a crutch quickly if you don't bother to actually become a competent vocalist because you know you can just fix it afterwards.
