There is no structural reason that you should not have facets. Facets will theoretically add stiffness.

The main reason I would avoid leaving obvious corners, is that it will make it much more difficult final sanding of the fill-coats without cutting into the cloth at the high pionts or 'corners'.

Also any future surface preparation down the years for refinishing will be likewise more prone to cutting into the corners.
