You can and should, don't think A1 will even be accepted unless you're exempt (but others can correct me on it).
You may be able to use it again in 5 years as well.
https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/knowledge-of-english
If you pass level B1 or higher, you can use your test result again when you apply for settlement after 5 years. Your test still needs to be on the approved list of qualifications and your test certificate must not have been withdrawn by the test provider.

Yes, you can do B1 and use it for your current application.
If you do so, you will not have to take the test again for next extension/ILR, as you used it in previous application (see
post2100760.html#p2100760).

If you keep listening to everyone, you won't get anything done. Go for your B1.
