If it had like 200k and noticeable fuel issues, then it *might* be worth it.
That's one way to think about it. Another way is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
For me the question is, does that corny line apply in this situation?
Does carbon immediately begin to accumulate in the fuel system, during the first test drive off the lot?
I think so.
Can regular use of OTC "fuel system cleaners" (BG44k or any the others that are less expensive - SL1, Techron, 3M, ACDelco, etc.) prevent this accumulation and (to borrow your terminology) prevent fuel from becoming an issue?
I don't know.
