As someone who takes a decent amount of monochrome photos, I don't think the extra resolution and brightness is worth it.
The advantage of taking color photos and converting them to black and white in post is that you have full control over the resulting brightness of different colors during the monochrome conversion.
For example, in the photo of the deer here, you could make the deer pop more by turning down greens and turning red up.
Starting from a color photo just gives you so much more control over the relative values of different parts of the image. And with monochrome, obviously, value is everything.
