Yes, and no, not really.

The main gain is lower weight. The FS on your bike, with correct tire pressure and bike fit/set-up, will swamp any (if any) tiny gains in flex/vibration damping offered by standard carbon bars.

Ditto saddle/saddle rails/set-up re. standard carbon seatposts. You can find some that are designed mechanically to flex in various ways; those could make some difference. An example would be Specialized's CG-R.
