Well, of course it would be better. If you go through life pampered,cared for, and, as you put it, blissfully ignorant, you won't have any worries, and the entire viewpoint of "it would be boring" would become moot, because there would be nothing else to compare the Adam and Eve lifestyle to. It would be all you knew, and it would be perfect, so there would be no need to sit there and wonder "How can I make this/myself better". There would be no need for improvement, and therefor adversity would become pointless.
People say that life would be boring with challenges, adversity, and obstacles to overcome, but when you get right down to it, all they're doing is striving to recreate their own version of Eden, where everything goes the way they want it to.
