This is more a case of "Should I use carousels poorly?" No!
They have there place, but when overused it's a poor use just like the the "Web 2.0 drop shadow on everything icons" and the blink tag before it. People see a element and decide that everything needs that element.
Carousel do work well for displaying a large/unknown number of images. Text and autotimers are almost always a bad idea IMO.
