That sounds like a personal thing. If you want weed in your garden you let it grow. If you don’t or if it starts to suffocate plants you care about you get rid of it.
You can have a zero maintenance garden by doing no maintenance and letting whatever grow. If you want to curate your plants that obviously requires effort.
The real question is do you have to weed or do other maintenance? I’m looking for a zero maintenance yard not just a zero watering
