If your buying Muni's for the tax free income then you should not be putting it in a tax free account. Your defeating the purpose. Now if your buying them for the safety and want to justify that, then that's understanble.
But, to answer your question. When interest rates go up, the price on the bonds will fall. I think they are necessary for a well diversified portfolio but I would not go long term on bonds.

There is absolutely no conceivable reason to have munis in a Roth.
ETA: and low interest rates mean that bonds are more expensive, so no to that as well.
