Having had it happen once I considered it for the next trip but concluded the risk was low on this occasion. So I guess it kinda depends on the expected terrain you will encounter on the trip, length of trip etc.. I just hate carting around anything I don't need, but as soon as you don't, you need it! It's down to a "risk assessment" per trip for me and knowing you bike's limitations helps with this.
So ......... NO - not always.
