Personally, I feel that the use of build out slides depends on the audience. For most internal presentations, business reviews, and generally any presentation that you give where the audience contains leadership in your chain of command, don't use build out slides.
However when you're giving a public presentation that's generally product/marketing focused, they can be usefull. But I would still recommend using them sparingly.
