Wrong question. The correct question is: Do I have what I need to reproduce the build?
Generally speaking:
* The reason to avoid checking in dev environment files is because they're different between everyone's work environment and provide no value to the build process.
* The reasons to avoid checking in executable files are:
However, as others have noted, there are times when you want to check in such files.
They're guidelines, not hard and fast rules. Guidelines/Rules exist to support your goals. Your goals are build reproducibility, accurate deployments, and other SCM-ish things that allow your organization to deliver a product that customers will pay money for so that your company can pay your salary. Craft your guidelines/rules in that context and you'll be fine.
