First, inspect your current Kindle for smudges. It probably has some. Do they bother you? Now, Pretend your Kindle 3 is a Kindle Touch and swipe and tap the display with your finger for a few minutes Then see if you can see any smudges. You'll have your answer, or at least, a more concrete idea.
I have not found it to be any sort of problem, smudges don't really affect the clarity of text significantly and are basically invisible unless you have light reflecting directly into your eye (in which case you cannot read that part of the screen). Nor have I seen reports of people returning Touch because it bothered them. But we all self-select so one can't conclude that NOBODY will be bothered.
What is mildly annoying is when dust or hair lands on the screen. if you're unable to blow it off, you have to lock the screen to wipe. With K3 you just wipe.
