After reading this series of blog posts and using Ramda.js for the last year or so, I can see the value here. But you do have to "get it" which means learning additional concepts, if the additional learning isn't a burden to your team (I hope your team isn't averse to learning new concepts) then I think it's an asset to be used when it makes sense.
