All depends on the site at hand. A great example is a content aggregation site with lots of ways to slice the data... MANY ways to "skin the cat" and it's a case-by-case situation when you fine tune how a site gets crawled.
Modern sites are wonderful because you can build in modern best practices but complexity is still a PIA when you get a product out there in the wild =)
Anyone should be really skeptical with SEO advice/content since there is no silver bullet, but I found this to be a enlightening read too!
