Heavier gauge strings

Just wondering if anyone has upped their string gauges to 12’s with standard tuning. EBMM FAQ says the nut needs filing-I have 11’s on my Albert Lee and St Vincent and I haven’t noticed any problems. I used to play a Jazzmaster strung with 12’s and I’m kinda missing the feel of those thicker strings. Just wondering what anyone else has done and what they’ve found.
