Arc Welding - G2 G3 commands

I have an MK3S+ With an Rpi running Octoprint attached to the printer. One of the plugins I have installed and have been running for years in Octoprint is Arc Welder.  It always reduces the the file size of the GCode Prusa and Cura Slicer generates by between 15% and 20%.  It is said to print faster and create smoother arcs, neither of which I have noticed but the file size is usually about 20% less and it has never had an adverse affect on my prints.  Do the new version of Prusa Slicer now use G2 and G3 commands when they are optimal and should I continue to run Arc Welder?
