I’m a lowly level 17, but if you want my thoughts - it’s actually one of the only things that have made me a consistent Japanese student rather than someone who occasionally picked up new words and the like, as was convenient. I frequently go to Japan and in the past 4+ months of doing Wanikani, I’ve been to Japan a couple times and each time, my vocabulary as a result of WK made a lot of things more obvious or allowed me to read more signage or more communicate with people.
I couple Wanikani with taking private lessons (mostly for grammar/conversation) with a Japanese expat teacher who lives in the states, and now I can semi-comfortably read the Japanese versions of some of my favorite manga - currently I’m working through Ranma 1/2, but I still need to learn more grammatical constructs to speed up the reading. For reference I’m at the end of Genki I and transitioning to Genki II.
I can say that in the early stages of learning, which is probably where most people are in the first, say, 20-30 levels of WK, you really need to expose yourself to Japanese frequently. I guess I have kind of an unfair advantage for kanji and context switching languages in my mind, as I can speak/read Chinese and French, but I have friends who don’t use the knowledge they’ve learned from studying Japanese/WK and they aren’t comfortable using it at all or quickly forget it.
By itself, though, Wanikani is more of a supplement in my mind, as you will only know vocabulary and none of the grammar.
