The benefits have been massive for me, and I'm often doing basically this.
Maybe you should just try it?

You would be surprised how much Haskell is practical for boring stuff, try it out http://learnyouahaskell.com/
The benefits of Haskell don't even _really_ seem that useful when you're just writing yet another big ass crud app where the main goal is to convert json into some other json and then maybe render it. I could see it making more sense in specific domains where the main challenge is wrangling a complex mess of business logic into something you can be confident about. Not like "is my shopping cart correct" but "how can I optimize this PCB design to reduce trace length and total area?"
