Maybe a few years ago it would've been "worth it". But with LLMs coming to swallow up all coding tasks and turning programmers into prompt engineers within a few years time, I can't see it being "worth it" any more.

You still need to understand the code you are generating, testing, and debugging. LLMs don't replace a need for more expressive programming languages.
