Even LotR had Merry and Pippin...
Only if you believe that the true enjoyment of the game is to be found, not at the table itself, but talking about it afterwards.
Ah, but this is (one reason) why you ban halflings.
A table utterly devoid of laughter is one that...well, honestly, doesn't have me sitting at it.
At least, not for long (one way or the other).

... is a false conclusion to draw from banning halflings. And low-Wis characters. And low-Wis players.
Banning things because they may inject humorous encounters due to derivative idiocy is just...something I will never do.
So I don't...no won't...ban halflings, or low-Wis PCs and the like. Things like that have their place in quality (and poor) fantasy/sci-fi, and thus in any campaign I run. I'm not going to begrudge someone their desire to play that way.
There is no one "true enjoyment" of the game. Both the playing and the telling are of value.

Aw d00d, now you're starting to sound like Hussar.
What + Ever.
The only things I ban from a game are those that don't fit the game in question.
So, have I banned Halflings? Yes- in a campaign in which they were killed off in a catacalysm that affected the whole world. And they weren't the only race that died out- Gnomes, Dwarves and Elves as we know them were gone as well. That happened precisely twice in 30+ years of gaming.
The other one was when the Party started off in a standard D&D fantasy world, but were transported to another Prime Material plane. Those (few) players who joined after that transposition couldn't choose one of the standard PHB races.
Have I banned PCs with low mental stats? Nope, never.
