Considering that TLS is in place with a solid configuration (i.e. certificate pinning), which I find no reason not to, you'd need to work out the business risk you're trying to mitigate by encrypting this information.

Ask yourself, what would you gain by doing this? What type of attack vectors are you mitigating?

Lastly, howHow are you going to generate, distribute and manage keys, where is the code and keys that encrypt/decrypts the data? What happens when (not if) the keys are recoveredextracted [i.e. will you be using the same key for everything?]?
