In my own view, the simple answer is 'No'.
Having said that, if you had your beard, the answer would still be 'no', I do not believe there are any benefits other than knowledge. Your asking if you will be blessed? again, in my view, no more than all are blessed by Creator.
I believe recitation of Bani should be done for no other reason than to show your love for Bani, so that your soul can cry out with happiness from being able to recite, understand, implement this wonderful Bani.
You seem to have a checklist of things that one needs to do, in order to get the full benefit, I think being at peace with yourself and having a good heart go a long way to making yourself feel better, more centred, helping people, living by Bani, living by Hukam, all these things will bring wonderful benefits, but none of them supernatural or magical,
The benefits are realised in this life, as you sow, so shall you reap. Hair and Simran as you have described mean nothing on their own.
Kind Regards, my own view only
