I'm also on a journey to learn functional programming. For me it is worth it because it "fits better" with the way I want to write code and think about problems. Using concepts and patterns from functional programming I can solve a problem one function at a time, that's really powerful. Now, I personally don't go "full functional" with javascript because you can get to a point where applying a "functional pattern" doesn't feel natural, sometimes the best and fastest way to solve something is the good ol' procedural/imperative style.
I haven't done any serious projects with javascript but I did make an experiment in one of my side projects where I tried to use as many things from functional programming without it being awkward. I really liked the result.
