I have not. The only major thing I see in Kotlin over Java right now (I don't do Android development) is data classes. Everything else is either in the language or should be soon which makes me hesitant to invest the time learning it.

I agree with you here, I think that Kotlin is settled for life in what concerns Android, given the sore state of Android J++ and #KotlinFirst announced at IO.

Outside Android, we can enjoy modern Java, which makes Kotlin just yet another language capable of targeting the JVM.
