Charlie;
Only you can answer if it is worth doing.
No one else is familiar with your situation.
EFS is very secure if properly used.
If a file is removed and the encryption keys are not available, the data is
safe.
If improperly used, there is a good chance you will permanently lose your
own data.
See the links near the bottom of this page for more information about EFS:
