I believe you might have addressed this before, but in case I forgot, do you believe em-dashes serve the purpose as well as parentheses do?

No. Their purposes are different. What follows an em-dash is vital to the overall understanding of the writing whereas a parenthetical is an add-on that enriches your writing but is not really necessary. Imho.

Ah, that makes sense. Thank you very much for making that clear for me!
