The L1C code is something different than L1 C/A, so it help to some degree.

Better handling of ionospheric delay than standard L1 C/A code tracking 
do would do quite a bit more.

L2C and L5 would be useful. Doing the same for other GNSS too.

As for increased radiated power, we already have that. It's been a 
resident capability of Block IIR, or at least later in the series, and 
was turned on for a test. The impact have been somewhat better precision 
but not any bad issues that I've heard of.

Cheers,
Magnus
