Is it worth the commitment /lit/? I'm just getting into mainstream fantasy and have been hearing good things about this. Despite that i'm hesitant to begin since there are 20+ books in the series. Are any of those optional or do they form a coherent/complete story?

No. You're better off reading Jordan's Conan pastiches.

if you're at all discerning, this is the point where you should be getting out of it. I like fiction more than non-fiction before you straw man me as a hater of fiction.

Life isn't that long, anon. Spend it on something that's actually valuable.

Figure it out for yourself. But I doubt when you're nearing death you're going to sit back and think, "Gee I'm glad I spent all that time reading 12,000 pages of The Wheel of Time."
