The `rsa_key.pem` (private key) file could be considered mildly sensitive. In principle, it could be used to forge login sessions to your server, though in practice, doing so would require additional knowledge of various UUIDs (e.g., taken from a copy of your database). Also, any data obtained with a forged session would still be encrypted with personal and/or organization keys, so brute-forcing the relevant master password in order to obtain those keys would still be required.

Admin panel login sessions, however, could be forged easily (this would only work if the admin panel is enabled). This wouldn't provide access to vault data, but it would allow some administrative actions like deleting users or removing 2FA.
Nevertheless, encrypting the private key is recommended if you're concerned that someone else might be able to access it (e.g., when uploaded to cloud storage).
