No. It's not worth it. Here's why:

In order for it to happen it must overcome 3 ifs:
1.First you must score a critical hit. That's less than 1 in 20 attacks (remeber not every 20 roll is a critical hit).
2.If that happens you must roll a percentile dice. There is a 50% chance of an effect (slow or blind).
3.And if that happens, the creature must fail its save. Quite rare later on.

And if all the three ifs pass, there is one bigger if. Whether the effect is at all useful:
If you just critical hit a creature, it is dying anyway, and having it blinded or slowed isn't going to tip the scales in your favor. You won't even notice it. Especially since if it failed its save it's quite weak anyway. (wow! Thank God my dirty fighting slowed that goblin. I wouldn't have beaten it otherwise )

Also did I mention that undead, golems, elementals and anything immune to critical hits is immune to those effects?
