If you don’t miss scripting, you probably don’t need it. Otoh, there are quite some tasks that can only be accomplished with scripting. And others that are easier or more elegantly accomplished with it.
The forum section on automation contains a lot of examples, no need to repeat any of them here.
As to learning: there are quite some old texts on AppleScript floating around and far less on JavaScript (I offer Scripting with JXA | JavaScript for Automation (JXA)).
Personally, I wouldn’t invest any time in AppleScript – it’s quite limited in its capabilities, conceptually weird (using object-oriented terminology without being object-oriented for example), Apple doesn’t work on it, and it can be used only with/on macOS. Others like it because it’s “easy to learn” (I disagree) and it’s a lot better implemented than Apple’s JavaScript integration with is OSA (I agree).
