Yes, it's too early.
Even if everyone were to agree these sets are worth it, as presented right now, and even if we find out they are reasonably easy to obtain.
The rate of change in Maple is such that by the time these hit GMS, anything could happen.
- They could be changed to require less, or more, secondary stat;
- Accessories that provide tons of secondary stat might become available (+50 allstat medal, anyone?);
- Formulas could change in ways that make secondary stats essential, rendering the discussion moot;
- New sets could come out that give better benefits, or similar benefits, with less secondary stat requirements;
- GMS-exclusive items could make the right decision for KMS, wrong for GMS;
In short, everything changes. All the time. Planning ahead is almost entirely futile.
If you want to set some AP aside, or save extra cash for accessories with more than the usual secondary stat, go ahead. But to actually allocate AP to DEX now (as an Aran) sounds incredibly premature to me.
