I can't speak for others, but I have found it well worth the bother.
Over the years, I've switched my preferred reader many times. I've been on and off Kindles (a lot of them), Kobos, Nooks, various Android programs and--at the moment--Pocketbook. Calibre and DeDRM have preserved my ability to read whichever books I want on whichever machine I favor at the moment. Since I often re-read books, this is a significant benefit, well worth the little bit of extra time it take.
Except for the five books I had not downloaded by Barnes and Noble when they stopped letting you download from there. Lesson learned.
YMMV
