I don't think most apps even access sensors. I also think disabling it is not necessary, more so if you don't allow network for an app. Though some (google) apps may still send data to Google via Play Services, supposedly.
I wouldn't worry about it, but you need to decide for yourself. Usablilty is also an important factor, pixels aren't cheap at least where I live.
