The benefit will be when it does not need to downshift or just to 3rd instead of second.

Maybe not on it's own.
Not knowing exactly what the inputs to the electronic transmission control ARE....it's hard to say what would happen and when.

The downside probably would be worse gas mileage......and it's bad enough already.

There are plenty of gasser trucks towing heavy that seem to think better gearing can actually increase mileage vs. the OEM gear lugging the motor. Or if mileage drops it does seem to be minor.

IMO the ratio is often chosen for mileage over drivability. Drivability should increase more than economy is lost and this addresses the original complaint.
