My take on the matter is this.
Unless you specifically disable NetBios use on all of
your machines, then install and use WINS. Without WINS
your machines will default to broadcast mode if NetBios
services are used.
So, then the issue resolves down to question "Can deployment
live without NetBios?" and for majority of implementations
today there is at least one reason that it is needed.
On the multidomain resolution part of your question
1. it is only a matter of how you have defined your DNS zones
and
2. whether machines will need to use non-DNS name resolution
