Do you normally require a set of reshores for multi-story shored composite steel construction?

Reshores for shored composite construction?

I don't practice the kind of construction but constructability permitting, I would, if only because my experience in concrete construction has shown me the long terms of shoring to be truly very benefitial regarding to deflections in the built structure.
However part of the benefits of the composite construction is counting with the steel as support, and maybe concrete spans are small, and the attained strength be good enough to ensure sound behaviour even long term from first unshoring, what one may investigate through analysis; if such is the case or you are working at span depth ratios that can make the issue non consequential you might reasonably decide the additional gained benefits are not worth the encumbrances.
