You should. Packing your graphics makes loading much faster. Perhaps it would go down to 1-3 minutes.
Well, it may not bother you but think of your players. If I have 1 hour per day to play and loading the game reduces that time so greatly... Well, that's annoying.

Oceangoing monitors and a few turret ships/turret rams:

 

AND Mega Pack has two large fpk packs: 1.3GB and 1.4GB and I know of no stability issues.
So if you keep your fpk files under 1.5GB, they should be fine.
