In general, no. It leads to lazy or sloppy level design too often for me as developers have to anticipate player coming from so many directions. They also tend to pad open worlds with collectibles that I just give up on 20% or so in.
I will say some series it can work I enjoy them, for example Infamous: Second Son did a great job opening the world and amount of collectibles I actually 100% on.
