All pilots should for their own safety, acquire a few hours of instrument training, at least enough to feel confident in controlling the aircraft in basic maneuvers in clouds. I do not have, nor plan to go after an instrument ticket, but the small amount of money I paid for this peace of mind has already saved my hide once when I did something dumb. Sooner or later you will get your money's worth. My flight instructor would not sign me off to go for my check ride until I took his advice and took the training, even though I insisted I would never use it. He was right and I WAS WRONG. I was lucky I had a stubborn instructor. I owe him !.
