This is good advice.
take advantage of its features
Among these, I'd specifically include
* altering the size of your filesystems
* integrating new disks into your filesystems
* snapshot-based backups
If you have local disk capacity far beyond what you currently need,
LVM would provide a handy way to right-size your current filesystems
while giving yourself a lot of flexibility for future expansion.
