On twisty country roads unfortunately a driver's reaction time is an issue sometimes. If they see you better, further up the road it's no bad thing.
I think fluro overshoes are great for this. That movement shouts cyclist and they're seen from all angles.

I rode quite a lot at night without one. Never any issue.
Though not sure if I saw any gendarmes in the wild!

To be fair, @FFF is quite right that a decent set of light does make a big difference, however, additional reflective can be helpful even though it's not necessary, the danger is simply the false sense of security that other have fallen into the trap of wearing reflective.
TBH, I can't see any difference in driver's behaviour when I have my gilet on.
