I tried it by comparing the same VM with and without that setting. Here is what I found:

With "Use Host I/O Cache" disabled, booting took 40 seconds.

With "Use Host I/O Cache" enabled, booting took 12 seconds.

With "Use Host I/O Cache" disabled, doing a mini update took a few minutes.

With "Use Host I/O Cache" enabled, doing a mini update occurred nearly instantaneously.

I'm convinced.
