Not everyone is working with your printers. If your printer is happy with how you're providing your files, good for you. Telling people to ignore the request of their printer is the only bad advice here. I'm not knocking Indesign, I'm just saying it isn't the tool I'd use for the job if it were large formats because I can't control it as well. If you use a gradient with a bad color cast, it probably won't show you as well as other programs. So if you have low-res images, or a file that isn't great, you're out of luck. Indesign doesn't in those respects, as it's sole responsibility is to collect assets and export them without question. Same with Illustrator if it's vector based. A program like Photoshop is going to handle pixels, placed images, and even type down to one format and you'll get what you see. If you're a designer, one should strive for accuracy as much as possible. So I wouldn't say it's wrong, but it isn't accurate. So right now, you're just exporting and hoping images are enough quality or a gradient matches, or something isn't effecting in the correct color.

You can't vet things as easily as a Photoshop or Indesign. Indesign is great for putting things together, but very poor at quality control. My answer would be, it depends on the assets. I wasn't near a keyboard and it's easier to articulate here than on a phone. Hello, sorry about taking a minute to get back to you. All we want is for everything to be outlined and embedded in one single print-ready file.

Pro Tip for anyone submitting artwork to a print shop: We don't want your mix-matched/incompatible font packs. What gives? How do people not understand that? Why do people completely ignore Graphics Requirements documents? Seems like everybody and their brother is using InDesign now (I don't understand that either as it is definitely NOT designed for large format printing) and people can grasp the concept of links but can't understand to outline fonts. Which means every single time I have to send their art back to them and explain that it must be resubmitted otherwise or we will charge them the astronomical price it costs to acquire said font(s). I've been doing this for years and every day is a different project but one thing that has always remained the same is that my client's "designers" never, ever outline their fonts. I do large format printing, mainly for trade shows but also brand environments, museums, fleet vehicles, you name it.
