I would only do that upgrade if the OE bearings were worn out and ready for replacement. I would not invest the time and effort into that unless the bearings already needed replacement.
Did you check the runout in your lathe? Usually these mini lathes have incredibly small runout for their price point. The indicator barely moved when I checked mine.
Unless something was broken, or there was noticeable runout, I would probably leave it alone.
