Personal choice based on your comfort level and financial situation. You do have the powertrain warranty for 2 more years and that's really where the large money repairs will be. Generally with the bumper to bumper warranty items, outside of what would be considered powertrain coverage, those issues do tend to show up with in the first 3 years. Not a hard and fast rule, but that's the statistical reliability "bathtub curve" in manufacturing. The warranty covers the early failures (generally associated with manufacturing or assembly issues), then there is useful life, and then finally wear out.
My personal opinion is that it is not worth the money to extend the bumper to bumper warranty. Extending the powertrain warranty, possibly worth it. I generally don't do that either, but with the 6.2 liter bearing issues (I know they say the Camaro isn't affected), there could be value there, depending on the cost. But, if the motor makes it to 60,000 miles with no issue, it's probably going to be OK for the long run.
Extended warranties are just an insurance policy. If you have the means to cover the repair costs out of warranty, you are likely better off in the long run. I have bought many new cars over the past 25 years, and run most of them over 100K miles and have never purchased an extended warranty on any of them. When looking at what those extended warranties would have costed compared to what I paid for out of pocket repairs over all of those years, I'm ahead by not buying the warranties.
