It should work exactly as well as it always has, which is to
say that it might work.

Specifically it will (for sites where it is allowed) force a
revalidation of the frontend cache entry.

That only means that the frontend will check with the backend
render server though, and if that server is busy then the
tile will not be rerendered immediately but will instead be
queued for rendering later if the queue is not already full.

You don't say what zoom you're seeing a problem at but that
road appears to be OK for me now though your results will
depend on which cache and render server you are reaching.
