I use the exact same hardware with the same apps and use case as OP, and yes, I would say so. The magic keyboard has an escape key, which is handy when using vim on a server, and a function row with brightness and volume buttons that work on iOS. Pairing is automatic, battery life is great, the keyboard is more clicky, it's not bound to the device physically, and when you switch devices 5 years down the road you don't need to buy a new, shiny, expensive, essentially the same keyboard. I use the MK with my desktop as well, just so I don't need to adjust to different keyboards during the day. And it's cheaper. Personally I see only upsides to the magic keyboard over the smart keyboard.
