As a writer myself, I always work on the assumption that writers want comments, and leave them as much as I can.
I'm the same too. I've noticed that in certain active fandoms (e.g. Buzzfeed Unsolved RPF), fans seem less anxious about commenting even for PWPs that in general don't get as many written feedback as SFW shipfics or even Explicit romance. So I wondered if it just so happens that the demographic for these fandoms are more likely to be comfortable with commenting or if the community have specific practices to encourage commenting (e.g. releasing fic teasers on private Discords).
