I've honestly always kept secure boot off on my machines (which also use Arch). I don't really feel like the level of threat from someone (or me, by accident) booting an image I don't want them to on my hardware is particularly worth the hassle it brings; nobody else should ever be using my machines in the first place, and if they are, I'm going to have larger issues than what OS they decide to try to boot.

I'm inclined to agree when it comes to desktops or servers. However I feel like a laptop needs better security, including secure boot and full disk encryption, since you could lose it and cannot be sure what it went through even if you get it back somehow.
