Just wondering - what is the use case for the M221 gcode introduced in version 0.70 of the host software?

Will it have the same effect as adjusting the E-steps during a print?

Well, the effect will be the same, except that it is set using a percent value. It is more meant to find the optimal flow rate for the slicer without the need to reslice the object again.
