I might be paranoid but I always touch up any chips because leaving them exposed might cause moisture/whatever to get under the paint and make the damage worse with additional peeling or flaking. If nothing else, if the chip is to the metal, you risk some oxidation. I think applying a little touch up paint is better than leaving it exposed.
