Ancestry has 2 major drawbacks:
1. Irrelevant Hints
2. Badly researched trees

If you use Ancestry then your tree could be a work of fiction in whole or in part.

If that is what you want then that is up to you.

In DNA research using Ancestry, their thrulines continue these fantasy trees  ::).

If you don't upload a tree you won't get any hints. 
It is easy enough to ignore other people's trees.
