I guess this means that not having to rely on dkms for hardware means being able to run the latest kernels without the hardware being disabled.

It's not likely that the driver will be mainlined anytime soon, so no. It's the same as with the proprietary kernel driver, except maybe some being able to patch problems with newer kernel versions by themselves.
