Just out of curiosity, does anyone sign out from their Apple ID account on their phone after signing into their iCloud or App Store?

Because I do. Once I sign in to my iCloud account or to the App Store using my Apple ID account, I immediately sign out after doing some settings or downloading apps.

Is this good security practice or am I just very paranoid?

It doesn’t make any sense to sign out of iCloud because you lose all the security benefits of iCloud namely Find My and activation lock. Not to mention you also lose automatic iCloud backup and a syncing of reminders, calendars, mail, etc.
