Is there any real value to idealism besides it being an interesting theory? How do these ideas benefit anyone?

Well for one it's one of the ontologies that has a solution to the hard problem. But Kant is only an epistemological idealist if I'm not much mistaken and objected to subjective idealism.

It takes consciousness as fundamental, a given, irreducible. It's a solution by dissolution, you don't need to explain how consciousness can be reduced to physical processes when you don't think it can.

It also has the additional benefit of being the logical extreme of empiricism, rather than supposing an additional ontological category beyond our phenomenal experience, there's none to answer to. That which can be known empirically by the senses is all that is.

It affects how we conceive of ourselves as entities which may affect how we act in the world.
