Default Choke balun on an elevated ground plane

I have a (home built) 40 m ground plane with the base elevated about 8

straight down the 8 feet and then runs on the surface of the ground.

Would *a choke balun at the feed point be advisable?

it wouldn't hurt, but unless you have problems with rf on the feedline
getting back into the shack i wouldn't bother.
