Default My first post here too!

Good first post question!

I'd say YES to the elimination of hesitation by having a custom tune. In fact, the first thing I noticed when I bought my Edge (that has since been converted to a Gryphon) is that the hesitation was immediately cured.

Other benefits you'd gain are the ability to make your truck's speedometer read correctly for the larger tires and, indirectly, your shift points would be where they should be according to speed. Custom tunes will put those shift points where they should be for the effective gear ratio you have now with the larger tires.

You'll get a horsepower increase and probably somewhat better gas mileage too. Add to that the ability to monitor things like transmission fluid temperatures and battery charging voltage, etc. and you have a pretty worthwhile mod. All told, I would not give up my Gryphon for anything.
