Thinking about this question a bit more. If I could only do one exercise for the rest of my life it would be deads. I cannot see one goal someone could have that a deadlift wouldnt help them. Fat loss, strength, power, trap training, anything involved with the posterior chain, speen, verticle jump, wrestling, increase in bone density, staying fit, lower back stability/strength, ab training, and I really dont see this list stopping anytime soon. So I guess my answer is unless you medically cant. You should ABSOLUTELY be doing some variation of the pull for whatever purpose.
