It’s a religious topic. Don’t go there. Be assured though that some infidels do redistribute connected (and even statics with an ACL) and have not been struck down by lightning.

If the /30 is not on the networks tab, then you will need to redistribute connected routes. If you add static routes pointing to places you will want to redistribute static routes as well.
