Is using Orval + Zod for validation in Next.js a good industry practice?

I’m a beginner in Next.js development and I’m learning about API validation. I came across Orval (for generating API clients from OpenAPI specs) and Zod (for schema validation).

I was wondering, in a professional/industry setting, is it considered a good practice to combine Orval + Zod to automate validations? Or are there better approaches commonly used in the industry for handling validation in Next.js apps?

Any advice, experiences, or examples would be really helpful!

Thanks in advance.
