Not if you suffer from RSI and you want to use as few key strokes as possible. I really don't understand this trend towards minimalist keyboards. I want more keys, not fewer.

I mean, a pianist also doesn't put everything on their home row.

Funny, RSI of a different kind is what pushed me to a minimalist keyboard. I pay the cost of increased complexity to avoid the strain of reaching distant keys.

That I do understand. But, for instance, I reach for my F keys with my entire hand, not by doing funny & painful movements with my fingers.
