I would not, in case your plants this year had a fungus that could spread as you put the resulting mulch in next years garden, but that’s just me.

I completely pull up all I can of my tomato plants and BURN them. If you compost the old plants, you will likely carry over any diseases (whether your plants showed symptoms or not). The worst of all of those diseases, in my experience, is the tomato blight. It is a virus that can live dormant in soil for years. If your plants didn’t get very stressed, they may very well have blight but didn’t get overcome by it. Composting them would insure that the virus is carried over.
