if death is permanent, yes. otherwise, no.
The truth basks in scrutiny.

I like how some final fantasies handle this where bosses only give out ability points.

But when they aren't like that I usually reset unless I just barely scraped by to begin with.

It depends on how pissy the game is about xp. Normally no, but if the game is gonna crack the whip every time I miss a nice xp chunk then I guess I have to.
One day dude, I'm just gonna get off the bus, and I'm gonna run in the woods and never come back, and when I come back I'm gonna be the knife master!

All generalizations are false, including this one.

Pretty much this. If it's not going to make a lot of difference, then probably not but if I was grinding for a reason or XP is tight then probably.

Used to but now i'm like fuck eeeettt.

rando thought, back in RBY days in Viridian forest when I was close to leveling up I made sure to only kill a metapod and kakuna because in my dumbass young mind it would make me have more experience the next level even though I ran from like 5-6 caterpies/weedles that I could have killed easily and had more exp by then.
This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

If the party is already desychronized in XP, there's no real need to bother.

After tanking or healing for so many boss fights in MMORPGs, I've gotten to the point of hardly caring unless it throws off my leveling of that character, or if that death is as permanent as I wish some characters are that I encounter in said online games. So, in offline games, resetting after boss fights is usually not a thing for me. *shrugs*
