You will have the effect of having a lot of mails delayed. If that's ok for
you it will help you to fight spam. It's not the final solution and in my
experience more and more spammers retry to fight greylisting but it still has
its share in the race.

Beside that a lot of people expect mail to be an instant communication channel
without delays. If you've some of them as customers they might get angry when
they find out about the greylisting stuff. ;)
