Objectively makes the game a lot better. If you choose to go in blind and play the game, you literally won't be able to tell which events are part of the mod and which aren't. There is no reason not to play the mod with the base game once it updates to be playable with the DLC. It's even supported by Daseson's currently incomplete but highly superb color mod.
The color mod is very likely to be finished by late 2024, and in that time this mod will certainly become compatible with the newest version of the game and maybe even add some new content; the second that happens, this would be the definitive way to play the game hands-down, if not for the imouto_prpr TL revision mod, which has a stellar translation that elevates all the vanilla content but doesn't have the really cool FFFox stuff (both work with Daseson's color mod, which is good because I can't play the game without it lol). I really do hope that imouto_prpr's translation is adopted in the future at some point down the road. It's only been worked on for less than a month now, so there's time, and I don't want to have to choose lol.
Regardless, this mod deserves more attention than the already quite sizable amount that it's getting, especially because BlueFireNick engages with people about his work, is genuinely concerned about improving the mod even more, and he just generally seems like a pleasant person. I don't know how else to convince you to play this. Just do it!!
