It is reasonable, the default setting is a bit low. It varies with
your graphics settings tho, 0 for low, 1.125 for mid & high, and 2 for
ultra IIRC. I find 3 a good compromise between quality and
performance.

This however, is blatantly false. If rendering everything at full
detail all the time didn't cause a drop in frame rate than why would
we even bother with LOD?
