Consider upgrading to the newest BIOS for your MSI B450 Mortar Max. The recent changes, especially for Ryzen 5000 support, might affect stability. Check if your current CPU is compatible before proceeding.

When no upgrades are available for the third generation and it functions properly, skip the upgrade.

Consider waiting a few weeks before proceeding. Check if a new version is available. The description "Improved AM4 processor compatibility" is too general—unless your current setup isn’t causing issues, there’s no need to rush. The resized bar is nice, but if your graphics card can’t use it, updating BIOS won’t help much. Agesa is a solid candidate for updates (it also modifies CPU microcode), but the Agesa pack likely hasn’t released major changes for 3rd generation devices. It’s probably more focused on 5th generation now. So while it’s a good idea to update, the chances of real improvement for your setup are low. You’re free to wait or skip the update altogether.
