It's just as much of a pain to blackhole all those possibilities as it is to set up aliases for all the addresses you actually want to use.
In my experience, it's just the obvious addresses that get spam, nothing like a dictionary attack. Addresses such as

admin@...
sales@....
jobs@...
info@...
et cetera...
