You should bother as X.509 is the recommendation most downloaded of all
ITU-T Recommendations and is an important PKI/PMI player. When updating
X.509 it is important to consult also the PKIX experts.

certificates

Why should PKIX bother with a document that isn't normative for
PKI anymore?

For a PKIX-version of this topic I would make a difference between
"certificate producers" that indeed SHOULD/MUST generate DER
encoding while "certificate consumers" SHOULD NOT break due to
incorrect decoding.  Certificate consumers in browsers are already
dealing with pretty broken certificates.
