Should you add a UV disinfection system on an RO/DI system?

Is it sensible to put a UV disinfection on my ro/di system if I'm on well water?

Bacteria can't make it through RO membrane as they are too big. Assuming no holes or o-ring issues. However, bacteria can and will be present in storage containers and lines. Just a fact of life. Wouldn't think UV would add significant benefit even if on well water.
