Unless you are having specific problems, no - there are no real upsides and there are always risks associated with a bad upgrade. The BIOS is ignored after the computer boots anyway. Identifying the right BIOS can be tricky: you need the BIOS for the specific board (make, model _and_ revision) and even when using the right BIOS with the proper tool (never use generic tools) you still run the risk of problems. Consider what happens with power failure mid-update for instance.
