Yes and no. Defnitly to get best perofrmance you don't need to enable
just -march=mymodel -O3
We disable some options at higher optimizations levels just to allow debugging
(like -fomit-frame-pointer, register renaming, loop unrolling).
It is somewhat dificult to orientate in the optimization levels for users
and I am not sure what exactly can we do with the situation.
