to be honest i didn't have a clue what pillar bedding was and pictured something like demonlopp posted

I take it that this process is really only of benefit on high recoil rifles where the action may move relative to the stock under the stress of firing ?

Would there be any point considering this kind of "upgrade" on rimfire rifles ?

im not doing a full bedding job just having two contact points and floating the middle of the action

im only doing this because my rifle has lost accuracy since i modified the trigger which i mainly put down to the torque of the screws and im sure pillar bedding will fix this

Only if you want them to be very accurate.
Seriously, many of the .22 rifles in ISSF shooting are bedded, with the exception of aluminium stocks (not needing bedding is another advantage of aluminium over wood). If you didn't bed the action correctly (bow chica wow wow ) then the point of impact of the first shot might be different from the subsequent shots, and your recoil in general might not be completely consistent from shot to shot.
