jpackage allows override of main WiX source file (main.wxs), do you know what will happen if user will add main.wxs with format features available only in WiX 5 and will have WiX 5 toolkit installed?

Do you know if there any benefits to use any features available in WiX5 if WiX5 toolkit is installed, instead of using only WiX4 features with WiX5 toolkit?
