Worth backing up DRM/TA keys? (Sony Xperia 1 III)

I’m very new to the custom Android scene and just got an Xperia 1 III. I was looking to throw Lineage on it, but struggling to find info about if I should backup the DRM keys off the vanilla device? I do need this phone for banking and some people are saying the Camera on Sony phones in particular need the DRM keys to work properly?

I’ve been looking all over the place for any solid info on this, Most the guides/threads, etc I find are about older model Xperias. Can someone please point me in the right direction? thanks in advance.

Rules

Do not ask for an ETA

Don’t ask for the estimate time of arrival of builds for a device. Builds will come when ready. Don’t ask about future plans, updates, developments, or news. We don’t have crystal balls, schedules, or grand strategies that dictate when or if things will happen.

Do not ask whether your device will be supported

Whether a device will supported depends on whether a maintainer or a contributor has the device and intends to bring it up. Don’t ask if builds for another device will work on your unsupported device. Don’t ask where builds for a previously supported device are. Don’t state that you’re waiting for builds for an unsupported device. Don’t ask if a supported device will be supported on a newer version. Don’t ask for support on un-supported devices.

Do not beg for VoLTE

Not all devices with LTE are VoLTE-capable.

Do not post bug reports

We have a separate bug tracker. Please see the instructions on the wiki regarding how to report bugs correctly.

Don’t ask for help with non-Lineage ROMs

This community is for LineageOS. If you have a problem with a non-LineageOS ROM, ask elsewhere. This also extends to asking for ROM suggestions.

Do not ask for features to be added

We are not accepting feature requests in this subreddit, on GitLab, or anywhere else at this time. If you have implemented a new feature we accept patches through Gerrit at http://review.lineageos.org/

Don’t ask about unsupported mods

Magisk modifies the boot image
MicroG requires signature spoofing
Substratum modifies frameworks
SuperSU is not a supported root access manager
Xposed breaks the Android APIs

We can’t help with these things because we don’t control them and we can’t support devices with them installed because they modify the OS at a deep level and they may open security holes.

Don’t link to or discuss unofficial builds or sites

Please don’t post links to unofficial builds or unofficial news sources. If it’s not lineageos.org – it’s not official.
