It depends, if you want use enhanced linked mode, it is a good idea. Note that another advantage is about replication of licenses, permissions, tags, etc, between PSC. But, take in mind if your vCenter at DR point to your PSC at DR site, if PSC at DR site goes down, your vCenter at DR site will not failover to PSC at your main site.

thanks for quick reply. should i make my DR site the same PSC SSO site as primary site or Create a new PSC SSO site? i have 10GB pipe between my primary site and DR site.  According to vmware document, the psc site is used for configuring PSC behind a load balancer. I had tested both setup( same PSC site and different PSC site) both worked.

"A Site in the VMware Directory Service is a logical container in which we group the Platform Services Controllers' server objects within a vSphere Domain. You can name them in an intuitive way for easier implementation. Additionally, when Platform Services Controllers are deployed, they publish their service information (service registrations) into the defined Site. When vCenter Servers are deployed against the Platform Services Controllers, the vCenter Server will publish its service information into the Site in which the Platform Services Controller belongs. If you need to move vCenter Servers between Site, you must move their respective service information. For more information, see the section Can I repoint the vCenter Server to other PSCs in the same vSphere Domain? Can I repoint the vCenter Server to a new vSphere Domain? within this article.

Currently, the use of sites is for configuring PSC High Availability groups behind a load balancer."
