Nope. Sticking with Apple Store for apps. I have never had a break-in on my iPhone and I plan to keep it that way.

Just dont be stupid while side loading. Unless you are so incompetent that you would click on the first free money app there is almost 0 chance of malware

You won’t get that even if you sideload, lol. Have fun paying a monthly fee to be able to watch YouTube videos without being bombarded by cancerous ads, though! I’m enjoying the ad-free experience with my sideloaded YouTube app, all the while being “break-in”-free since the day I first downloaded an emulator.
