Here’s what to consider:
How long is the ride likely to take, is it longer than the time you’d spend out on a bike ride in your Mtb shoes? If it is, then yes, maybe you might want to think about a pair of road shoes. If it isn’t the only thing you need to consider is whether your Mtb shoes are comfortable, if they are stick with ’em.
Pluses of road shoes and peds are a larger contact area on the pedal which for some people means less chance of hotspots, down side is, as gandberg says, apart from pedalling tapdancing is about all they are good for, and the pedals are single-sided which if you are not used to it can take a bit of adjusting to. The halfway house you might want to consider is pair of Shimano Mtb race shoes these usually have stiffer soles (more like race shoes) but the advantage would be that you wouldn’t need new pedals and you could get wear out of them off-road too.
