I too am new, not to radio but to this site. Here's my answer on the principal question. Go For It! The beam is directional and becoming more so with each additional director. You miss the traffic in the direction the beam is not pointing.
Had great doubt about the matter until this marvelous volume of Positives came about.
My 5/8λ omni-directional has very good DX receive. Sometimes better one direction more so than another depending on conditions. My Yagi can then be rotated towards the greater or the faint signals for my rag chewing pleasures.
