Yes, worthwhile, although this list would be only a minor part of such monitoring. An experienced Wikipedian needs to monitor the mailing lists, Village Pump, requests for arbitration, and the administrative noticeboards regularly and prepare a brief summary for staff daily. Emphasis would be on issues which have potential to or already affect public relations or Foundation resources.
