For what use-cases?  Do you type non-ASCII characters?  If so, what
ranges of Unicode or character sets do you use?  How often does it
happen that you edit an existing file and add to it characters from
character sets that were not there in the first place?  Etc., etc.

Also, how much data loss are you willing to sustain?

IOW, without further details it is impossible to answer your question.
