Is adding calcium and/or magnesium carbonates to Rpavlis water worth it?

I'm using Rpavlis water for a while and am overall happy with the results. Some say this recipe is bland and that more complex recipes are better. Would adding calcium and/or magnesium carbonates improve things in any noticeable way?

I do that ( An all carbonate water recipe (cloudy concentrate, no sodastream) ). I started doing that because I thought it would put me closer to a soft natural water. It's easy for me and so I still do it but I can't say that I can taste a difference between that and the simple no-hardness rpavlis recipe.
