Do you remember the last time when visual novels were good?

Yes, right around the time when Kurisu's game released.
Visual novels peaked in 2009 and they've been going downhill ever since.

Visual novels have been almost completely replaced by gacha games because they make so much more money. Even former VN writers have gone on to gacha now, see Heaven Burns Red.

I never got in to VNs beyond Ace Attorney. That was a fun game but I can't imagine having an entire genre of just that except with even less gameplay somehow.

Sometimes I get tempted to try a gacha game just on the promise of something resembling a visual novel with an ongoing constantly updated story. Even though I know it's going to be shit.

If the anime left you eager for more, then yes. Even if you remembered the anime vividly, there's still enough extra content to make the VN worth it. Some of which will leave you guessing, and at least one scene of which clears up a plothole the anime left by rushing through the story.

If you are someone who thought the anime was too slow, then no. By comparison, the VN would leave you begging for them to pick up the pace.
