I have a similar TPMS system on my 90 Carat.  I started a 250 mile journey
with relatively new tires and proper pressure all around.  After stopping
for gas on the way, after a while the TPMS started beeping, showing a low
tire.

I stopped again, and discovered a screw in the tire and a slow leak, which
gave me a chance to fix the problem relatively conveniently, rather than
further down the road in the dark or more unfavorable unconditions, and
after potential tire damage if I didn't notice in a timely manner.

At this point, I wouldn't consider not having one.

I consider it cheap insurance.
