If it's dry enough to work, it's dry enough to plant.
In a perfect world…. Sure.
In my back yard, anything that helps dry and warm the soil in spring helps you get a better crop 9 out of 10 years, probably higher odds than that.
Lots of ground worked way to wet to get it dry enough to get it planted around here. Might only get 80% of the field worked the first time, helps dry out the edges so you can get 95% of it worked in 2 days so you can get most of the field planted the next day, before yet another rain the following day…..
Just depends on location and soil types.
I have a 5 acre sand hill that allows me to understand the other view on this question. I would fail, just totally fail as a farmer, trying to grow stuff on some of the Sandy condtions many of you face.
