If you plan to spend the whole day sightseeing in downtown Osaka, I think it is definitely worth doing this. I definitely got my money's worth, taking advantage of everything: quick entry into Osaka Castle without long ticket lines (not to mention free trains and buses), a free ride on the Dotonbori River Cruise at 6 PM (the most popular time slot) by exchanging my ticket around 1 PM, free entry to the Umeda Sky Garden (apparently only until 3 PM), and a 10% discount on Harukas 300 admission (Harukas isn't free to begin with). However, the downside is that those without an e-SIM or SIM card will likely find constantly refreshing the e-QR code very inconvenient. My mom struggled a bit connecting to my hotspot and opening QR codes at the subway and tourist attractions. As long as you keep in mind that the QR code changes every minute and cannot be screenshotted, you should be able to save money without any major issues. I am very satisfied!
Fuss-free redemption with the qr code and seats were allocated beforehand. The bus will bring you straight to nijigen no mori but you have to walk in to the park that you are visiting by foot (about 15-20mins).
