Do you need communication when out of cell range, which I'm sure is the case for most of the Dempster? That said, the Dempster does have traffic on it, so it's not absolutely necessary.
I like having the phone app, which allows use of the InReach map on my phone, an electronic map backup.
I will be on the Dempster in mid-June and will carry my InReach. I have one because I make use of it as a safety for work, where I'm regularly out of cell coverage and sometimes need backup communication of some sort. Unless you're going to explore more remote areas that are seldom traveled, I wouldn't buy one just for that trip.
