In terms of SEO and rankings, it won't help you, not worth the budget, the time or the work,
You can buy a few social signals only and only for diversity, but it's not really necessary
A whole lot of certainty here but can anyone point to a decent case study from the last decade? We know Google calls it a 'ranking factor' but that's pretty meaningless. There's not a single site outranking better content and backlinks because of social signals but plenty of sites with strong socials being outranked with actual SEO. I'd be thrilled if my competitors focused on stuff like this.
There's some correlation but that's not the same thing as causation. High-ranking sites tend to have social signals but that's because they have traffic to build a social following and they have the content to warrant. They have social signals because they have traffic. Not the other way around.
If you're pushing traffic from social media then go for it but don't get distracted by nonsense metrics.
Here's what happened just after one social signal. A twitter share from a prominent twitter account. Impressions got boosted more than 2000% for one page. That was about a month ago.

Might not help your business improve its organic rankings but there are so many other areas where social media signals can help boost your SEO efforts.
