For me it's not a question of to angst or not to angst--it's what its purpose is, and how well that purpose is executed. If it's anxietas gratia anxietatis then yes, I will have issues, especially if Frodo is wallowing in it (he is hardly a wallower in canon!), but if it's a brief incisive moment followed by a lot of backtracking that can be loads more powerful.
