That's just silly. Indexes are a fundamental component of databases and give the DB clues about how the data in your table is going to be used. You might as well saying having different column data types is premature optimization.
Should you spend days analyzing things and creating a million indexes? No. But you should have some idea how the tables will be used and setup a few of the obvious ones, at least. Read any book on DB admin.
