Yup, that's what I do. Even for personal projects, with the flurry of changes Claude/other AI assistants make, a branch makes it easier for me to compare changes.
Often I have a branch with multiple commits on it, with each commit corresponding to a message in a conversation with AI on Cursor trying to get a new feature built.
In the end, I can diff the branch against the main branch, and see the sum total of changes the AI agent has made.
Maybe edit/improve manually on my own afterwards. And then, merge.
