IMO, it's fine and good, but it is something you should opt into. If you know what's going on and know to backup your recovery keys, or just make normal backups, then all is well. But if you are unprepared it's fairly easy for you to end up locked out of your data in a lot of scenarios where it would have been recoverable without bitlocker turned on.
