I’ve used them nonstop for 25 years troubleshooting any “network” problem, from simple to complex. The value for me is that it helps break things down in to components that you can troubleshoot individually rather than everything all at once. When you finally narrow down a piece of shit label printer sending double SYN packets that has shut down a critical department, you find the worth. No amount of shotgun fix cable swaps, printer swaps, certificate updates, password rotations, or blaming a developer will get you to the answer. Learn to properly troubleshoot by learning how things work. Good on ya for seeking out the knowledge.
