IFR is practically a must have, sure. Atleast if you want to fly from one region to another or if you want to be able to fly more often.
The endorsements are just a luxury though in my opinion and most are relatively easy/inexpensive to obtain compared to the certifications from what I understand. A cessna 182 will get 1-3 people across the country reasonably.
Obviously each person would need to do their own research to make a determination as to whether or not pursuing a pilot certification is worth it and what other training they might need for their own "mission". Its definitely not like getting a drivers license.
