Yes, absolutely. I never row without straps. With straps I could row more than 120 pound dumbbells for 10 reps. With them I did 265 for 10 reps last year. Same for barbell rows.
Using them will allow you to build back strength in ways not possible without them. this will help your deadlifts and overall grip strength.
The only time I do strapless is on the platform, and I can pull 700 pounds easy.
