Probably but suit yourself, square. Basically if it ever comes down to it even in a sorta utopia there is only so much you can experience. Especially as in reality you are still mortal. Even if you had a cortical stack getting resurrected from backup is probably unpleasant.

In VR your body can be in a very safe place, constantly tended by AI robotics who do medical procedures you won't be able to feel as needed - including lots of preventative surgery - and you can experience a lot of things, many of which would be very hazardous to experience in reality.
