WCAG says not to do this. As does:

and MDN:

I would say it really depends on the project you're building. For content-first websites (blog, landing pages, e-commerce, and such), preventing users from zooming in breaks accessibility and provides a bad overall UX, thus it's not a good thing. In other cases (mostly web apps, especially PWA), it can be relevant if you are really trying to apply the look & feel of a native app. But don't expect W3C or Lighthouse to give their blessing on that.
Lighthouse recommends seeting this to 2x to 3x zoom, because many users need to zoom indeed. Vision impaired users, images with small details, etc.
