Are Deleuze and Guattari worth reading if I'm a Maoist? I only ask, because I've heard their work was a significant influence in anti-imperialist struggles (most notably indigenous struggles in the Third World) throughout the past three decades. I'm fully aware their thought is what's behind Autonomism and some variants of LeftComm, but would they be useful for Maoists too? For the record, I'm speaking of shit like their concept of Deterritorialization.

Wanna keep being a maoist? Don't read anything.

If that's the case, reading Marx should probably be higher priority.

You do understand the phrase "oppose book worship" only applied to a specific context right? Plus Maoism is a free form ideology which advocates attaching itself to local traditions and other philosophies/theories seemingly "outside" of the standard Marxist tradition (all while not straying from Marxism).

Again, Maoism is free form and anti-formalist.

Honestly, no. D&G influenced left populist and left idpol movements the most. Your best bet is going with Badiou if you want to read frenchie stuff. I've heard Naxals read and translate Badiou texts.
