The answer is YES.
Hey scales are not boring stuff nor just part of the ABRSM exam requirement – they help you to develop your technique, listening and sight-reading skills.
And by the way, don’t you recognize there are always scales and arpeggios in music like sonatina?
For other instrumentalists like violinist, playing scales are important too as they help to improve your intonation.
I know playing scales and arpeggios are sometimes tedious, but they are not useless at all!
