That depends on the use case.

MXA is always-on (that's the 'A' in the name, as opposed to 'C'
for 'Collapsible'), but it's not always at the required performance
state (svs, nom, etc.). For some clock controllers specifically, there
is no need to put them into the picture, as the rail may be unconnected
altogether, or only used for some retention mechanisms (which only
require the rail to be enabled and nothing more)
