Is taking drawing classes a waste of my time if I'm an absolute beginner? I'm starting a figure drawing class but I'm getting cold feet.

no, just learn perspective and other stuff on the side.

also look at figure drawing workbooks to see other schools of thought for drawing the figure

The point of a teacher is to make you good, if they can’t do this then find someone else. Needing skill and knowledge is only for more advanced classes and workshops.

I think yes, somewhat.
Figure drawing is advanced stuff, the human figure is complex and difficult to digest without a good approach and understanding of line and shape.
It won't do you no harm, but you won't exactly get the full learning potential out of it either - maybe a third of it.

i guarantee you'll take something away from the class and be a better artist
