In my opinion it depends on whether you can clear hard mode or not within whatever time restraints (ie real life) you have. The way I see rewards like this is, if I have time to go for it, a fleet capable of pulling it off and enough resources to burn through.

You may find it helps to have this in a future event or map, you might not.

I opted to go for this but more often than not I skip hard mode on the final map if the rewards for normal are more or less the same as is often the case. To me a hard mode medal and some extra screws isn't worth it but for superior equipment I can't convince myself I won't need it. The flip side is some struggle to, or even can not clear all the maps of an event.

TLDR; I think if you have a fleet capable of doing it,  have enough time to smash your head against a potential wall waiting on that lucky torp cut in and have enough resources, go for it.
