It really isn't any more complex, and the price of it has dropped significantly. Plus, you don't have to terminate the fiber, just pull it.
I'm still not sure I see the need for it with copper twisted pair now being able to do over 10Gbps reliably. However I can't fault you for future proofing. I always say pull the best copper you can, and extra of it since it's easier to do all at once than again later.
