Yes one of the big advantages of klipper is that you don't need to recompile the whole thing to make changes to your configuration. You just edit it in a text editor and then save and restart the firmware.
I also haven't used Octoprint, but other advantages for klipper over marlin are the ability to control your printer via a webUI, pressure advance, resonance compensation, easily add cameras, mesh leveling visualization, and a bunch more that I'm forgetting off the top of my head.
