I don't but I have seen some that do and I think that's quite helpful. I think if they are unspecified it's ok to default to the traditional and know it won't offend.

I do wonder why the need to specify both "he/him", "she/her" etc. though. I mean do the pairings ever get mixed? I'd like "he/them" if you don't mind?

My guess is to avoid any difficulties for people who might normally struggle with that type of grammar.

"Hedges in accounts wants to be known as "her" now"

"Why does...em...er... her want that?"

As you said, and I said earlier, it's helpful. I've actually seen it suggested that it would be even more helpful to extend it to 3 words, eg "He/him/his"
