Unlikely.  Haven't needed LVM (or RAID for that matter) in the almost 20
years Linux has been my personal OS.

I'm VERY diligent about pruning and deleting old or unneed files, data,
apps, etc.  For example, my Wheezy install which I used for 5 years
(until support was dropped): / 16GB 45% full; /home 207GB 43% full. I'm
not a gamer.  So, no humongous installs there.  I have no music, video
or movies taking up space. I don't even use a desktop environment.
Window manager and a single panel only. And I'm the only user of the
system.  My Stretch install (about 6 months old) has even lower
percentages, but that's to be expected.

Obviously, how and what you use for system for are very different from
mine.
