Wondering was it worthwile to try for a fatter tone?

To my experience, your tone won't become fatter but more mellow and dark. The other guitarist of my band uses them and the different is quite noticable, I don't recommend it if you play with some gain or want sparkling cleans though because it takes away the mid growl and high sparkle quite a bit.

I'd agree flat wounds will make your tone thick, and potentially surfy or jazzy, but I wouldn't say it'll be fatter. Thick and mellow, with very very restrained harmonic overtones. Might work for your style music.
The plus is you basically don't change flats til they rust haha
