Hi!
You should not be afraid about it. The slow down here is not significant. Search threads here, there were a lot of discussions here on this topic. When you have a lot of deleted records, the index will have benefit.
You should avoid filters in other indexes. I know there are people that recommend to filter indexe by deleted(), however, this is completely wrong because such indexes are not used in the optimization. Just the deleted() as an index expression is fine.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs
It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
