Only insane programmers are not paranoid.

But checksums protect against more than the reads going bad.  They
also protect against writes going bad.  With large volumes of use
write errors are almost a certainty, with NOR.  And if you miss the
fact that the error happens.  And a single bad write is especially
painful if you are writing compressed data.

If you just need reads something like romfs, or isofs tuned for from a
NOR flash chip is probably better.
