1. Reading music will make you a better guitar player/musician
2. Reading music is something you will do often as a guitar player
3. Pro musicians know how to read music
4. Reading music is the same no matter what instrument you play
5. Learning to read music deepens your understanding of music theory and fretboard knowledge

1. not necessarily. define "better". See #5 for more info.
2. nope. not unless you are a studio musician and then it's likely to be charts rather than sheet music
3. Not necessarily. Some do, some don't.
4. Nope.
5. Yes. I would tend to agree with this since reading generally equates to a deeper understanding of music and hence music theory and how it relates to the keys or strings or whatever, of the instrument you are playing.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
