No
In my opinion no. If you are lucky enough to to have solid cherry I would refinish them but not paint them.
This is totally up to you ,if they're warn or you just want a lighter color. Go for it.
I vote no too. How about just a good cleaning? Murphys Oil soap...fantastic
If the wood is in good condition, I would vote no. Maybe you can jazz up the soffit above or add color with countertops accesories, new curtains, etc.
If they are in good shape, I would just refresh them. And brighten up the kitchen other ways. If they are in bad shape, then go for it if you want a change. Here is a product you can use to bring them back to life:

No natural is beatiful. Clean well SAND and clear coat it
It just about does me in when someone wants to paint over beautiful woods, clean the cherry wood, hopefully to bring out the beautiful natural grains, strip and refinish if possible if the cleaning does not do the job.
