The consensus is that switching to a dedicated IP address doesn't automatically guarantee improved email deliverability. While it offers more control over sender reputation and isolates you from the negative impact of other senders on a shared IP, the actual improvement depends heavily on your sending practices and ability to maintain a positive reputation. If your current shared IP isn't experiencing blocks and your sending practices are poor, a dedicated IP may not help, and could even worsen deliverability. High-volume senders with good sending habits stand to gain the most. Careful IP warming, correct DNS settings, and ongoing monitoring are crucial for success. Risk mitigation, such as using both shared and dedicated IPs, should also be considered.
