Imo no. HxH is better off without any time skip. Gon and Killua are still kids and that's where the good part is. Most of the shounen anime have older male lead roles but that isn't the case with HxH. They are still young and that's why you enjoy their adventure, friendship, talks, honesty and dedication. If time skip would happen then what do you expect to see in HxH anyway? There will be nothing left to see in it. The plot and storyline are good and doing just fine. HxH doesn't need time skip for this. Time skip only happens when there is no more ideas left for the next sory arc. That's why it has to be introduced to show new plot twists, characters, arcs etc. But that isn't case with HxH.

As for Leorio becoming doctor and Gon and Killua's overpowering their predecessors. It will be great to see them at the end of the anime. It could prove to be such a good ending for the anime.
