But does it aid in understanding regular models, as they might have a bayesian interpretation?

Yeh for sure, but it's an overkill. It's like reading quantum mechanics to understand Newtonian mechanics. If you want to get a feel of bayesian ml here is an easier book, "Regression and Other Stories" https://avehtari.github.io/ROS-Examples/

Thanks. How's that relate to Gelman's BDA or statistical rethinking?

[master_yoda_1]

Bda is more advanced version of this book. Stats rethinking is also good and one can start from scratch as it has more code and less maths.
