It sounds like you are talking about the F-16.  If so, I vote yes, add 
side walls.

The reason is multi-fold.

Definitely more realistic when you are surrounded by walls.

It may be harder to get into and out of, but I found it actually is 
easier because I don't worry about kicking the side panels with my foot 
and I have two side rails to grab for egress and ingress.  A small step 
stool on the left side is all I need.

Additionally, where would you mount your Chaff-Flares button without 
walls?  ;-)  Without side walls you'll be Karate chopping thin air with 
your left hand.

And finally, when you get up above 150 knots the wind noise is deafening.
