Rct is one of the most successful treatments available in dental field. It has a 93-95%success rate which is more than any other treatment modality. The reason why u got a negative response to it is because...its usually the failures THAT are more highlighted. Also if u donot do the rct...that tooth will have to be removed. And then replaced with a bridge or an implant which have similar success rates but cost more. So its always better to do rct health wise as well as pocket wise. Get it done as soon as possible....coz changes keep happening.
