Switching from 2 answer button system to 3 or 4

The recommended guide for Anki before FSRS is to use 2 answer buttons only, “Again” and “Good”. But now that FSRS can adapt well with Again-Hard-Good system, I thought that it would be a waste if I don’t utilize this feature.

The FSRS tutorial talks about misusing “Hard” as “Again” button, but what if I want to do the opposite? I want to use Again-Hard-Good system, but is it recommended? I have almost 60k review counts in Again-Good system, will switching to Again-Hard-Good system bring me any benefit?

It gives you a bit more control over your interval lengths, but it’s not clear at all whether there will be any tangible benefit.
