If it improves, it would certainly improve also vs nuclear.
Also regarding CO2 cost, nuclear vs wind is certainly not clear cut. This [1] reference says wind is somewhat worse than European nuclear but better than US nuclear. It's also worth pointing out that lifecycle CO2 analysis of Nuclear often consider only ~50 years of nuclear waste storage [2], which is somewhat misleading considering that we have to store some of the waste for thousands of years.
