Yes. It's worth it. Don't jump into charting plugins. Just dump the data you need on some admin screens and start watching it. If you need a chart, add it later when it hurts to not have it. Just like any feature, add it only when there is a need for it - your dashboard is an MVP for you. You can create enough to get started in a couple hours, not a couple days.
