Cryptographically, encrypting doesn't actually add any more security so... no point imo

edit: but infosec isn't completely equal to cryptography, so some deterrence like that will prevent some attacks. But it's like adding a real beefy padlock on your door (the hashing), and then putting a piece of tape to keep your door shut. Or putting a piece of tape over the keyhole of your padlock.
