Maybe. The diminishing returns of MF on the no-drop chance are very steep. And MF has to be balanced against killing speed: If you're halving your kill speed just to go from 300 to 400 MF, it's really not worth it. There's also the safety aspect to consider.
Maybe even more important than any of that is expectation management. It's best to think in terms of all the possible items that can work, and everything one can do that isn't reliant on items at all, rather than hoping for something specific to drop.
