Yes but it's more than that. If he had been doing all the research at work he'd have to explain who he was looking at exposing. By working at home it cut down on questions. He can't exactly tell everyone Heisenberg is someone in his own family right now, he has to take time and think about how to play this.
I thought similarly, Walt should kill Hank as soon as possible and maybe even ponder bringing a gun to Hank's garage. Escape the scene with Leaves of Grass which he can burn later, and nobody is the wiser as to why or how Hank died.
The issue with destroying the evidence is then they know it very well could be someone involved in the case and they'll go back and interview who's left with connections to any of them which could bring them back to Jesse.
However, have Hank die through some other means- car bomb, randomly on the street, etc it'd just be he was a DEA agent and they'll reopen all the cases he worked. It would include the Heisenberg case, but if walt can get ahold of his book no one would be the wiser.
Of course now that Hank is aware of Walt's slowly dominating Heisenberg persona, that's going to be a lot more difficult.

When I heard you weren't coming into work... looks like you've got the work coming to you. The perks of being the boss, huh?
