It depends on which cryptocurrencies you decide to stake. Having a higher apy does not mean that you are going to earn more money, since you have to see, for example, the inflation of the cryptocurrency, as well as other factors. There are cryptocurrencies where I would say staking is mandatory like Cardano where there is absolutely no danger of losing your funds, or Algorand participating in governance.
i have been staking some years and if you hold pos cryptos you should stake, you are helping to secure the protocolo as well
