If one didn't want to go the full monty,it would have to help.
The lowest drag,concept rigs always have full belly pans under tractor and trailer,but only the individual can decide how much trouble they want to go to.
I would personally promote the bellies,if not only for the reduction of splash and spray in inclement weather which can make it extremely hazardous to motorist visibility operating near the rig.
Nobody needs to run their wipers behind me on a wet road.I've got to run mine behind everyone.
