As far as I know, the maximum benefit fron this is 5%, bearing in mind that the foliage may try, multiple times, to flower.
If I'm passing, I may pick out a few, but otherwise I leave them.

To me the utility of the blooms is as an indicator that I can start robbing that plant for new potatoes. I pretty much leave them alone as I haven't observed a significant difference in productivity in removing them.
