If I called you and said, "Hey, would you like me to tell you your site has been cracked?", would you really say "no"? I would argue that the cost of adding a canary is similar to the amount of time that phone call would take. I'm guessing that after that call, you'd go through your logs and attempt to find out how the site was cracked. Then, if you find some anomalous behavior, you might be able to isolate the component that was being exploited and fix it. Maybe you wouldn't find it, but maybe you would.
