I would, yes.

You are more likely to make that mistake with the differently named ACLs
config. That's part of the simplicity==good reasoning.

Using them as the only condition on different but sequential lines is an
OR condition. Putting two values in one named ACL is also an OR
condition. So for simple types like dstdomain the two ways of writing
'OR' are equivalent and the simpler way is better for reasons other than
than technical ones (harder for us humans to make mistakes with).

For some ACL types which have side effects (like helper or remote data
lookups) the use of multiple allow/deny lines can behave differently
than one ACL check. Which can be useful if you want that, but not what
you have going on here.
