Having an index barrel with all available exports can be very useful for readability and makes it easier to move/rename the implementation files. (Think __init__.py indexes in python.) It also allows for implicit private exports which can be more easily respected by a module consumer.
That said, export * from 'foo' introduces magic that may in fact produce more opaque code instead. Prefer explicitly exporting the relevant symbols as an actual index.

Sorta. Don't do that... with a blanket export.
