It would be good for you in many respects, but sim instruction is not the same as flying an airplane, so employers will not give too much credit as far as recency goes.
If you're considering regionals, they'll all hire you if you're current in a 172.
If you're looking for majors, FSI would be a good resume bullet but not a substitute for flight experience and recency.
