If you don't mind the added complexity, want faster growth, want to keep picky plants that prefer partially or seasonally emerged growth I would say yes.
As far as plant health goes I think CO2 - if done right - will give your plants an edge. Yes, there are unicorn tanks out there that shows that you can grow incredibly nice plants without CO2 that rivals the best injected tanks, but they take superior skills, dedication and an abundance of patience that not many of us possess. We have a recent thread.
I've never been a CO2 user, but I do sometimes wish there would be a point in-between where you could get just a few ppm's above the equilibrium level in a smaller tank, without having to go all-in on regulators, gas containers etc. and all the fuzz that sometimes goes with full blown CO2 injection.
Cheers,
Michael
