Trimming for approach and landing helps IHMO, and depending on which plane you fly and how your stick is set up may even be crucial. If your stick is set up with decreasing sensitivity the more you are from stick center, then trimming your plane for landing can shift your needed stick movement for a successful flare from the outer less sensitive zone of your stick to the inner zone. I personally trim my planes heavily into nose up before - or more while landing, as speed bleeds off.
