Would a Air Locker Be Worth it?

Don't buy a locker...

Sell the truck and buy a proper 4x4 model or convert the current 4x2 to 4x4. Anything else is a waste of money.
I disagree to a point. It's usually cheaper to run what you already have than to replace and start from square one, not to mention the familiarity with it. IMO having a history and good feel for reliability outweighs potential capability when traveling off highway. But in this case adding a rear locker will help traction and buy down some risk when taking an unknown road. Plus it would be transferrable to a new 4x4 Taco or would remain useful if a 4WD swap or SAS is done. Having 2WD with a locker and a winch should cover most dirt roads and unexpected mud and snow situations fine. And when (or if) he gets 4WD with the skill he develops he will be an excellent driver.
