This really depends on how valuable your data is. Richard Elling has a lot of great information about MTTDL here http://blogs.sun.com/relling/tags/mttdl
Almost any data with a grade higher than "disposable junk" becomes pretty valuable once you consider the time and effort to recover it. Multiple terrabytes of data takes quite a long time to recover at perhaps a few tens of megabytes per second and critical backup resources are consumed in the mean time. Meanwhile, business goes on.
Do the math in advance and decide if you are really willing to put yourself in the middle of a long recovery situation.
