While I like secure boot and leave it enabled when possible, to be honest it only protects against a type of attack so elaborate its pretty much useless. Whenever its minorly inconvenient I just disable it without worry.
Secure boot is also required if you want TPM2 unlock support. Pretty niche, but nice if you have a full disk encrypted system.
