Not necessarily. Sometimes the right effect can make it sound better and
more (or less) prominent without actually changing the volume of it.

This can be said for anything, and occasionally it's right. But you
should recognize this and deal with it at the right time. The wrong
time is after the drums (which sound find) have been recorded and you
change your mind when mixing. If you want every option, you have to
record with that approach. But not everyone can do that (or does it
even if they can) every time.

Let's not make rules here. It's possible to put a mic close to the
hi-hat and do something with it later (or not). If you have the time,
money, tracks, and mics, there's no reason not to, but most of the
time it will go unused. History is on my side here. While most
"famous" drumers will probably have a hi-hat mic on the session, many
more drummers will not. And most of the time the recording isn't
ruined for lack of a hi-hat mic.
