I think an inactivity timeout is still very important these days.  These days, it's fairly common for bots to connect to a BBS via telnet, and without an inactivity timeout, they could just sit there and tie up the node.  It would be likely that bots could connect to all nodes on your BBS and tie them up so that users would be unable to log in.  The inactivity timeout helps prevent that.
