No doubt safer for IFR purposes. I have a little time in a G1000 but a lot more with aftermarket Aspen panels, I put them in my own airplane back in 2014. I had no problem taking off into a fog with 3D terrain in the panel. On old mechanical gauges with nothing but a beep telling me about the mountain? .... not so much.... Then again, I also live in North-Central Texas. Every black spot on the ground that you can't see at night is a cow pasture devoid of trees, land in whichever one you like with your dead engine and your odds are pretty good.
