From what's been published, I'd say that there is no need. Unless you are having "end of the world" problem with your iTunes now.
Just checked blog and twitter Musclenerd is around but hasb't giving a thumbs up or down.. Wait for him to say it's safe. it's your fault if you ever update before seeing a thumbs up from the Dev-team and I never trust it unless I see it with my own eyes! 
It is for these young, impulsive ones.
Seems they just cannot wait to install every update.... sigh !
This is because iTunes is now doing "soft" SHSH checks for 3G phones on 4.0 and 4.0.1

From MuscleNerd regarding the new iTunes
http://twitter.com/MuscleNerd/statuses/18974776945MuscleNerd said:
By "fresh Spirit jb's", is he saying for those who recently JB'd with Spirit or people about to do one?
Yes, so if you jb'd with Spirit and had to restore and re-run your jb for some reason, you wouldn't be able to.
Actually, no. MuscleNerd clarified that he used "fresh" purposefully instead of "new" to avoid confusion with Comex' unreleased 4.0 jailbreak.
So he is referring to fresh Spirit jailbreaks (as in the one which allowed 3.1.3 to be jailbroken)
That's what I understand. So you can upgrade to 9.2.1 and continue to use it with your Spirit-jailbroken phone, but if you need to re-jailbreak your phone at 3.1.3 using Spirit, you will have to downgrade iTunes.
After rereading the tweet, I agree that is what he is saying. Sounds like he tested 9.2.1 with the "new" @comex userland jailbreak, thus the distinction.
