Only if you sort/facet or group. And queries won’t necessarily be faster after
warmup. If you don’t have docValues enabled, the “uninverted” structure is
created on the Java heap at query time. If you do have docValues enabled, the
“uninverted” structure is serialized to disk at index time, and just read at
query time in to the OS memory cache, NOT the Java heap.
If you don’t sort/facet or group, docValues do you no good at all.
We strongly recommend that if you sort/group or facet you use docValues. In
fact, there’s a flag you can set in 8x that will throw an error if you do those
operations on a field that does _not_ have docValues set.
docValues have no effect on the part of the query that don’t group, facet or
sort.

The docValuesFormat is obsolete and no longer supported at all as of 8.0.
