The value of it:
Very little, if at all, when learning your repertoire of pieces from music scores and or tabs.
A bit more when picking stuff up by ear as you may know more of what to expect and recognize it when it happens.
A bit more yet when you are composing or arranging and you become trapped in a corner or stuck to a to wall.
A lot more when you want to talk about or read about the lingo. If you enjoy doing that then go for it big time.
When listening to music I am thinking more about the phrasing, accenting, tempo variations, and emotion in general
than about Roman numerals.

Woods hands pick by eye and ear
Made to one with pride and love
To be that we hold so dear
