When mixing yes 0.1db steps can make the difference between a kick and bass gelling perfectly.
When mastering it's more about broad brush decisions and so 0.5db steps are fine.
Sometimes I might get frustrated with my MLA-2 compressor that only has 1db threshold steps, but I can always change the gain of the input to adjust that.
The cranesong STC-8 has 0.25 db steps which is the best of both worlds if you crave accuracy, however if you're focusing too much on tiny adjustments during mastering you may miss the bigger picture completely. (especially if it's your own mix that you did in the same room)
