If you can get the parts cheap go ahead and make the conversion.
They are hella fun and as long as you aren't bombing around hairpins on singletrack or taking huge jumps the handling is much nicer than flat bars.
You may need to swap out to cable discs as well, as hydro STI levers are hard to find and expensive. Contrary to what everyone on the internet will tell you, cable discs work fine but are just a bit more difficult to adjust.
