Conclusion

According to me, you should not root your device because, almost all the necessary features are available in stock android, which you will get after rooting your device.

But, if you still feel that, some of the features are not available, then you can root your device at your own risk.

I would suggest that if you have an old device, which is no longer in use, then you should root that device, because, it is quite interesting to explore a rooted device.
