I tried it on some of my CJ tubes back in late 2016/early 2017
Google didn't show the AMP versions any extra love
And the AMP versions had worse engagement metrics because no javascript means no mouseover/ontouch thumbnail previews
Plus, the AMP versions get served from google's cache, and can't run javascript. So any advanced tracking is impossible until the user clicks thru to your actual site. You lose that first page view (the one served from google's cache which can't run JS), so your internal metrics have no idea what the landing page is. I think you can still do some tracking thru google analytics but losing that first page view on my server-side data gathering system was a real problem for me.
overall I would say, fuck AMP and fuck google
