It is a good practice to use the "function" form since the new value depends on the previous statue value. In most cases, both solutions will work correctly, but it is possible to have some kind of desynchronization (and so unexpected behaviors) when using your version.

A few keys here (though it is not exactly the same question as you) : stackoverflow.com/questions/610542...

That "desynchronization" occurs because of states mutations are asynchronous, and it shouldn't be treated as a problem nor unexpected behavior.
