In my experience if you don't organise it well and do some occasional tidying up it gets messy. Then some users find it hard to work with the mess (like some people can't stand a messy desk; others don't mind). Other users find filters or views that provide clarity for them. And others just tidy up (but may spend too much time tidying rather than doing). So I guess you may lose some engagement and some time 'wasted' keeping things tidy/organised.
