Ideally you want to handle an exception as close to where it occured as possible but that doesn't mean a global exception handler is a bad idea. Especially for a service which must remain running at all costs. I would continue what you have been doing. Disable it while debugging but leave it in place for production.

Keep in mind it should be used as a safety net. Still try to catch all exceptions before they elevate that far.
