It is better to plan a trip in advance, but there are exceptions.
Early booking of air tickets and hotels helps to save up to 50% of the travel cost. Even if you are date bound, some services (such as Skyscanner or Aviasales) have a price tracking subscription. I use this service all the time. Especially when you need to go on holidays, for example, New Year's holidays. Every day, you will receive emails with information about how much the price has changed on your date.
At the expense of hotels, everything is always relative, if you book a hotel in the high season, then of course you need to choose a hotel in advance, because. by the date of the trip, only the most expensive options will remain. But if you are traveling in the low season, then it is likely that hotels, on the contrary, may discount prices before the check-in date.
