I don't remember seeing a poll on this before and the limited time frame for searching since the SQL corruption limits the ability to find one if there was. Sorry if this is old ground.
My vote would be no. My rationale is simple. During an administrative reload, or if you dropped your mag for some accidental reason, there is still one in the pipe that may save your life while you reload.
Also, I don't want to have to have an empty a mag, to decock, field strip or lock the slide back, depending on the pistol, for reasons of both convenience or a problem situation where I only have one mag with me (I only have experience with a few mag disconnect pistols and they all had these features, but I don't know that all do). Just seems like something else to go wrong on several levels for no advantages that wouldn't be mitigated by safe gun handling.
