No. xfs_check and xfs_repair should only be used when there is
evidence of a problem, and after the file system has been unmounted.

If the file system becomes highly fragmented and performance is
important you might want to run xfs_fsr to improve it (this has
nothing to do with "maintaining integrity", however).
