Yes.

Unless some users complain that they cannot connect or something like
that, you can ignore those.

Or rather, dies out without closing the connection gracefully?

As always, fixing things is a good idea (esp. since it makes the log
clear so you can detect some 'new' problems if they show up). However,
unless you see a clear problem message like (example from my
firebird.log): 'Uncommitted work may have been lost', you shouldn't
worry too much.
