Are you making progress with your current lifting style? If yes, then why change. If no, then swap it out to something you know does work.
I think having some structure is important, you need to make sure you're always working towards doing 'more' and workouts based on a program make that progression more likely to be happening. 5x5s are an example of that and they tend to be effective at keeping motivation and progression high. If you like it, go for it. If not, there's millions of ways people have got strong and jacked. The key is always working hard and doing more, and you can achieve that without a strict program.
PR update: 80kg overhead press last night and I'm convinced 220kg deadlift is just waiting to be taken. 210kg was smooth and I'm about to take a deload week so very, very excited to hit 5 plates in two weeks time.
