Well worth doing imho.
This was the worst area on mine, borderline rot . There were also some bad bits behind the plastic sill trim. Full size pics.

I ground it right back to bare metal, zinc coated, painted and dinitrol.

This is what it looks like with the muck cleaned off, overall they hold up well compared to previous gen of landys. Watch out where the rear arch meets the sill, behind the liner. inches and inches of muck will get stuck here though on mine, the paint held up back just fine.

Land rover do actually sort of underseal some of it, not sure what with or why.

You can see there are no issues at the front.
