Is it worth learning the Modi script if I just want to read modern Marathi literature?

I’ve been reading Marathi for a while using Devanagari, but I keep coming across old documents and some calligraphy styles that look completely different. Should I spend my limited study time on the Modi script, or is it irrelevant for someone who just wants to read modern news and novels? What is the actual utility for a non-academic learner?
