There seem to be two camps here - those who always seal their gaps and say it helps, and those who never seal their gaps and say sealing doesn't help. Has anyone flown an airplane without tape, then taped the surfaces and made a comparison?
two Sig E's, 1 avistar, and 1 ucando of mine all flew without sealed hinges, and all were later sealed, and ALL of them showed improvement.
