Yes, give me modern notation for modern music, every time.

On a side note. I think much of modern lute music should be printed in
staff notation, not just tablature. In a Renaissance or Baroque style
we know more or less what the textures are, so we can make educated
guesses about counterpoint, notes to hold, rests and other hidden
treasures in tablature. But modern music can have unfamiliar textures
that remain hidden in tablature but can be easily explained in staff
notation. Just an opinion ...
