I suppose if this is working in YVR and actually speeds up the process, it must be worthwhile.
It certainly can't hurt.

The interesting thing I saw in the press release above is that it refers to "passengers who are eligible..." I am wondering what the eligibility requirements are, and how it differs from the Global Entry kiosks in practice (besides shorter lines, basically).
