most people who study ancient Greek don't adhere to pitch accent and don't expect others too. you can learn about it if you want, but even when you're reading Homer or something no one, unless they're pretentious, would honestly be upset with you using stress accent. most people don't even know the basics of pitch accent for ancient Greek. you really shouldn't make it out to be some big monster. breathing marks and different accents (accute, grave) are important, but well within the first month of learning they should be easily recognizable.

depending on the person, it might also make you seem like a pretentious douchebag. that aside, if you don't actually care about the language(s) themselves and/or want to read literature in that/those language(s), then learning is a waste of time
