TWRP and OrangeFox allow you to make full backups and do root things without rooting your phone. If you have no need for that kind of functionality then it doesn't make sense to do it. ClockWorkMod I'm pretty sure doesn't exist anymore, or does it?

Never heard of that before. Only familiar with TWRP and OrangeFox myself, but these days every custom ROM has its own very basic recovery anyway if you don't need anything special.

Last I heard, was that Helium was a backup manager app (similar to Titanium Backup) whereas ClockWorkMod Recovery is a recovery...and I think both have been discontinued.

Ope, you're right. I was looking for clockworkmod backup which led me to Carbon which got renamed to Helium. Sorry for the confusion!
