That concave end on the loading jag will smooth out the sprue on a pure lead round ball. Another good argument for loading with the sprue up.

Might be significant due to increased shooter confidence if nothing else.

Nailed it, Crisco. Any cupped or even flat rod end will do fine. This is a non-issue that does not need overthinking.
