Yes, keeping water out of the coax is worth the effort. Drip loops will keep most of the rain away from the connections. There are several opinions about connectors and sealing methods. So far my compression connectors covered with boots filled with dielectric grease are doing fine. Some people have had trouble with dielectric grease effecting signal strength though. (I started using dielectric grease back in the 90's when I was installing microwave antennas. A few of the small systems fed IF and power from the ground mounted mux/demux using RG6.)
