I've had it do strange stuff too... but I use it regularly in dense traffic it's great for stop and go traffic. the important thing is if you're driving you're driving. I don't turn it on and think oh sweet i can take a nap or read some hacker news posts... I keep my eyes on the road. There are bugs and I don't trust it but I do use it much like I use ChatGPT and the likes...

How is it useful, if it requires such attention?

I have bog standard subaru EyeSight lane assist and dynamic cruise. It's quite nice, even though you are still "driving" and ready to take control. It reduces mental CPU by 50-80% (driving for me is practically like walking to begin with, largely subconscious). It's great in stop-and-go and long highway stretches.

In my experience there is a pretty strong correlation between driving style and whether AP lowers your stress or increases it. If you are a very defensive driver, AP will frequently raise your blood pressure. YMMV, everyone has a different approach to driving.
