CentOS8/RedHat8 - Disable AppStream modules when custom compiling?

This is a general question regarding AppStream modules in CentOS/RedHat 8. If we are custom compiling apps such as Apache or PHP, should we disable the AppStream module for that app? I don't seem to be finding any direct reference to this in documentation. Is there any benefit and/or necessity? Thanks!

the URL for CentOS Repo has changed to "https://vault.centos.org". For Example: baseurl=https://vault.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/

Update the repo files accordingly, run "yum update/ dnf update:".and it should work fine.

Depending on which software you're going to install, you even might not be able to disable AppStream modules (due to dependencies or because you need a newer version of a library or so).

Whether AppStream modules are enabled or not doesn't matter except you're installing packages from such AppStream modules – especially if they overlap with your custom software: Imagine you're installing httpd from an AppStream module and you're also compiling it yourself using the same paths…the next dnf update will replace your binaries with that ones in the updated RPM package from the AppStream module.
