I'm too scared that something happens and the files become corrupt or unrecoverable.
I am certain recovering files would be the same as if you hadn't encrypted them. The major downside of encryption is the CPU cycles it consumes, rather.
If you encrypt your OS, everything becomes slightly sluggish. EFS encryption is built-in and less heavy, but you're trusting Microsoft with your safety. The NSA has backdoor keys for anything Microsoft can access too.
