Do we need to await public Methods in Stencil components?

[alionazherdetska]

Description:
Stencil requires public methods decorated with @method() to return a Promise. This allows methods to be called before the component is fully initialized and ensures async behavior across all layers.

Question

1. Do we need to always await @method() decorated methods inside our components?
2. Are there specific cases where not awaiting could cause issues?
3. Should we enforce await usage as best practice where necessary?
