If your players mark an interest in speaking to people and you think it's fun, there is no reason why you shouldn't do it.I also employ your model of letting the players invent parts of the setting. The creativity of five people is better than the creativity of one. Though I don't do extensive world building, I'm too lazy for that.I suspect the DMG (I do a lot of suspecting on the behalf on the DMG in this thread <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) is advicing for situations when the players don't give you any immidiate feedback. If your players are sitting passive during the ravings of the uncouth trapper in the inn, maybe you should drop the trapper. If they sit and wait for the action when you describe the seventh league of empty dwarven tunnels, it's likely time for a fast forward.</blockquote>
