I did a phd. in math and used anki heavily- but ONLY to study for exams. Anki is great for things like memorizing precise statements of theorems, or remembering some trick. Anki is not great for learning the intuition needed to solve hard problems (imo). I also use it to study written chinese characters, and it has been immensely helpful with that (although this is a harder task than I ever expected as just something I do in my spare 5 minutes a day!)
