Should I use cache for my widget?

ColumnPro works only on the backend and will not affect you site performance. However if you have a large number of posts and post types, or a meta data or taxonomy with a lot of values or terms, the cache will improve you admin performance and bring back the list pages faster. Note only terms and meta data are cached not the actual posts retrived, WordPress core does that.

I can define taxonomy column when I register my taxonomy

True. You can set ‘show_admin_column’ to true in register_taxonomy. But if you want to use a taxonomy of a plugin or you really want to sort or filter on the taxonomy or you just aren’t a developer set a taxonomy column via the plugin.
