If we assume it isn't superconductivity, is the amount of diamagnetism still novel/interesting if not a world changing?

Only if it's significantly more than pyrolytic graphite, which appears to be the record-holder at the moment. It would have to be sufficiently strongly diamagnetic to levitate over ordinary magnets, which could have interesting applications. Think low-friction and low-vibration bearings, etc...
Another nice example here, much more surface area:
