If you really enjoy the Dune books and the created world, yes I would recommend them. I enjoyed them for what they are. They aren't all good, but they do provide a lot of background information. Besides the mentioned downsides of reading them (taking away some of the surprises in Dune) there is also the situation that you already know up front, who is going to survive, so if they get into a tight spot, you already know they are getting out of it
I think the most informative trilogy was The Houses trilogy.
Currently I am reading Paul of Artreides. The book that is chronologically placed between Dune and Messiah.
