Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

if the freehub is pushing the chain forward when you coast, I'd service it at my first convenience. It isn't critical, but could be an indicator of rust starting. Cleaning and oiling sooner can save you a costly replacement later. Ride it as it is, but don't put it off forever.
