No, you should not. The other iportant things that come into my mind
are

phone

The box is hardware. It does not run windows and it has its
own resolver onboard.

dns

Some resolvers do not use forwarders. They know whom to
query. They will get a hickup if somebody is returning
them the wrong ip address for a nameserver

(agreed, if you use e.g. djbdns you most likely will
not use OpenDNS in the first place)
