Have some soybeans with cupped up leaves, after suspected diacamba drift. Will this stress give that big yield increase, or are we screwed? bozranch

Depends really how bad they are cupped. A little sniff of dicamba probably would do some good kind of like pruning a fruit tree.
I don't think I would purposely go out and spray dicamba on my beans even though I have heard of yield increases. I would just use a labeled growth regulator if I were so inclined.

I've done quite a bit of messing around with adding a small amount of dicamba when spraying glyphosate on beans.. Based on my experience, the answer to your question depends on a couple things...how bad the drift was, the growth stage of the beans when it occurred and weather conditions.
If they were in early vegetative growth, and not dead yet, chances are the yield will be improved a little.. If they were at R1 or later and growing conditions are headed south, well...it is hard to say without seeing first hand how bad the drift was. Dig into the growing point and see how the new (unemerged) trifoliates look..
