You don't need a suppressor for home defense. Shooting a 5.56 (even a shorty) indoors is painful and no-good for your hearing if you do it often, but it won't cause noticeable damage following a home defense situation. Plus, with your adrenaline so high you will likely not even notice the noise.
Suppressors are cool for working with teams in houses, masking muzzle flash, reducing the ability of an enemy (outside) to determine point of origin of a shot, etc. But none of that stuff matters for home defense.
The Suppressor will add length and weight to the end of your gun (where it is most annoying).
