Yes. If you encounter any hills, or think you might, the reduced gearing is helpful.

Also, this is not an irrevocable decision - if it turns out you don't like the reduced gearing, you can buy the standard 50T chainset for ~$40-50 and install it; it's just one piece and it will give you the standard gearing.

I did the opposite - went for the standard gearing and decided it was too high and so installed the 44T chainset on my 3spd.
