It's not that there's no point, you'll just get a certain sound if you use a super high output pickup with a super driven amp. If my main amp was something like a VH4 or a Road King, I wouldn't use anything higher output than 12Kish.
If you're mostly interested in playing doom, I'd say just get an overwound PAF in the sub or about 10K range and call it a day. It gets tricky when you want to try and play more tight forms of metal. I think you might get the best results if you have one guitar for doom with lower output pickups and one for other types of blackened, charred, crusted metal with something tighter in the low endy region.
