Maybe.

As a single data point, if I were asked to provide such a README, I
would not bother writing it separately. Instead, I would simply export
my README.org to ASCII. And it would feel like an unnecessary burden,
honestly.

If I were asked to provide a README as an option, I would not bother at
all and just leave README.org.

Do you know how many ELPA packages provide README.org vs README.md vs
README in ASCII text?

Best,
