If you take it as a simple additive 2°C increase in temperature sure, if you instead trust the models predicting significantly more unstable weather on both ends of the temperature spectrum then not so much.

more warm weather AND more rain, crops on average will do better.

fires - the wildfires are mostly a measure of human mismanagement of land than anything else. Normally, the fires happen pretty regularly in nature. Humans wanted to stop all fires, and so you end up with huge amount of fuel for huge fires.
That is how you got in the US West from huge fires in the 1930s to a low average mid century to 2000, to huge fires now.

And anyway, what do fires have to do with agriculture? Usually fires happen in forests and uncultivated land.

Extreme weather variations aren't good for crops. Consistency is.

Not if there’s no water. Half of China already has shortages.
