On the other-hand, if you have a perfectly functioning gas valve, ... there is no point in running it out of fuel or draining the bowl. it's a waste of time, gas, wear and tear on the carb drain plug and leaves a door open to the possibility of issues due to running it lean every night.

I haven't noticed any leaks in my carb, but my experience is that if I park the car in an enclosed garage I can definitely smell gas the next morning, and my wife lets me know about it.
If I let the carb run dry, I don't get the gas smell so I think that validates that 1) I don't have a leak in the valve or the carb, and 2) the gas is evaporating from the carb.
