Should you tell Tower you're departing IFR

I fly out of a pretty busy towered airport. I've been taught to always
inform tower that I'm IFR. I believe that is because the tower has to
coordinate with the local center/approach before an IFR flight launches
as each controller can only handle a specified number of planes
simultaneously. That's probably why you are sometimes requested to
"standby for release."
