I'm not as sure as you are about the value of grays in characters.

The only improvement I can think of would be to dither curves so they appear
more curvy to the eye.  But I think this effect would be less noticeable than
eliminating the gray bits in favor of improving the resolution.

Some experiments would be useful and perhaps necessary for answering the
question.
