Yes and no. Yes, if you haven't used a particular Unicode char
before or use it rarely. No, if you use it often.
If you use a particular Unicode character often, just give its
insertion a command and bind that to a key. If you have 30 such
chars, put them all on a prefix key. Or use completion on their
command names (names you created, so easy for you to type, remember,
complete to,...).
IOW, it's not a big deal to insert Unicode characters, especially
if you insert the same ones over and over. You do not need to use
`C-x 8 RET' each time.
