There are many good things enabled by immutability, like safer/easier multithreading, value-like semantics for objects. It is definitely not only of academic value.

Typically you use values and not objects for these kind of things so not that much gained.

Values require copying, so depending on the problem it can be worse from a perspective point of view.
