I have a piezo igniter on my GSI stove, and the ceramic insulator cracked, resulting in piezo failure. I removed it, and have reverted to either a lighter, or sparklite, for lighting it.
I liked the piezo, but the ceramic, once cracked, rendered it useless. I found out the hard way about that one. So, I would say no; go without one, and use whatever method you choose to light it.
