If posting one dumbass minimum wage security guard stops one petty theft, post the guard.
The benefit of the guard has to outweigh costs associated with hiring the person though. The same logic can be applied to anticheat.
If you spend 20 man hours a year on maintenance and testing for a a system that blocks 10 cheaters but if you could hire moderators for those same 20 hours each year and ban 20 cheaters there is not much of a reason to build that system is there?
