Do I need OSSEC (or similar IDS) with this setup?

Hello everyone!
I am quite new in the whole servers world so please forgive me if this question is stupid.
My setup:
- VPS
- Cyber Panel with OpenLiteSpeed free
- ModSec enabled
- "OWASP ModSecurity Core Rules" pack enabled
- Cloudflare with default security settings (no custom WAF, filters...)
- Apps: a few WordPress sites
- WP sites: iThemes security plugin, applied most common security practices, updates...
Do I need OSSEC with all this? Will it work "nicely" with the above-mentioned tools?
Basically, I want to implement some sort of security system that will notify me (or even better - notify+prevent) any potential breaches, DB dumps, hacks... etc. I found OSSEC as a good balance between security and user-friendliness since I am a beginner, but I am open to other suggestions.
Thanks

You picked 3 things that doesn't go with security at all.
That is why I said "I am open to other suggestions" and "I am quite new in the whole servers world". Thank you for understanding.
