Whether or not they are needed functionally should be the question. If you need them either for comfort or to reduce utility bills, add them. If not, don’t.

I would not put awnings on the lower windows and doors. If you have an issue with the sun, put UV film on your glass, add solar shades inside your home, or use drapes with blackout liners. I think it's more important to have sun inside when you want it and be able to shut it out with blinds when needed rather than having awnings year round always blocking the sun and light. Another alternative for the lowers is a narrow pergola built over your back deck, which would look nice with the style of your home.

I already have UV film on the glass doors. And you are right I guess the would block the sun all the time..
