I think that depends on the user.  If clang is your entry point into the game, then yes, basic block names and many other things going on with the IR are probably meaningless.  However, our starting point is llvm::IRBuilder, so having the basic block names and individual instructions available on live, running systems is critical to problem analysis.  Function granularity is by no means sufficient.
