Not if it's open-source.

Security by obfuscation is generally not a good option if you can avoid it.

If there are other vulnerabilities present, stack traces can be forced to dump all sorts of data like env variables and network information and maybe someone else's personal information.

I strongly urge everyone to hide their stack traces in production. This will reduce your application's attack surface.

Of course, but obscurity increases security
