there are many reason for it, and almost none against it
so yes, i would advice you to do so
sanitizing is not neccessary if you make sure all your view outputs
are specialchared with
h()
like
echo h($data[Model][title]);
html-helper functions like §html->link() do that for you right away
anyway
this way you wont run in any of your current problems
