Running your own node gives you better privacy and allows you to run layer two protocols like lightning without relying on a third party.
I think it is worth doing if you are interested in being more private and self sovereign with your bitcoin usage.
It can be a technical and frustrating project to maintain a node at times but I recommend at least trying if you are interested and willing to learn.
