Personally, I feel that landmarks are useful in supplementing information about where/what you are dealing with from a user perspective. E.g. this is complementary to the content

I haven't found landmarks very practical as a faster way to navigate content compared to headings (or other methods) or as fast. With the exception of the "main" area of content. Likely that's why screen reader users tend to not bother with them.
