Understandably, but good luck explaining why you have a weeklong outage because you ignored disaster recovery process since probability made you confident enough to not test your backups.
Until you have a provably working restore, the backup is nonexistent for all intents and purposes. The sort of calculation you’d need to perform to justify not doing so borders on alchemy. Unless your infra is extremely exotic this should be rather straightforward and inexpensive, and you’re one failed restore away from this this process changing immediately anyway.
