PostgreSQL 10.x

Question:
Should I use table partitions if my table meets the below parameters? The size of the table should remain relatively consistent in size and number of rows. I would not expect it to vary more than 15% at any given time.

Info:
Table rows: 83,051,164
Table size only: 25.6 G
Total size of table including indexes: 38.6 G
Table definition:

CREATE TABLE xyz.abc
(
fk_def_id integer NOT NULL,
id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval(('xyz.abc_id_seq'::text)::regclass),
email_address text,
created_timestamp timestamp with time zone DEFAULT now(),
updated_timestamp timestamp with time zone DEFAULT now(),
provider text,
server_id integer DEFAULT 0,
read_count integer DEFAULT 0,
fk_group_id integer DEFAULT 0,
mail_log_timestamp timestamp with time zone DEFAULT now(),
mail_log_process_code integer DEFAULT '-1'::integer,
mail_log_message text DEFAULT,
mail_log_mail_id text DEFAULT '',
mail_log_rule text DEFAULT '',
is_listserv boolean DEFAULT false,
is_bad_email_address boolean DEFAULT false,
bad_email_address_message text DEFAULT '',
finder text DEFAULT '',
constituent_id text DEFAULT '',
CONSTRAINT abc_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

Thanks,

Lance Campbell
