is there any way that dimples can be actually beneficial
It it possible for small scale localized features to affect air flow. The wickerbill for example. Buggati limit the use to a small area, not the whole car.

Those are pimples, not dimples.

Buggati's innovation is to make them active. To influence the performance of the wing at different speeds.
