No.
It may be an indicator of a problem, but it is not terribly relevant in the dx procedure for MS. What is important is a combination of factors, most importantly the MRI and LP results.
I only visit my neuro on an annual basis, and depending on what I wrote on my "update of new and/or improved symptoms", she checks accordingly. Sometimes that includes Babinski, and sometimes it doesn't.
