I would argue that it's worthwhile to measure as much as you can, insofar as it facilitates orderly decisionmaking processes.
The problem is that people tend to think that all measurement is necessarily quantitative. I think that this might be a version of the streetlight effect? Quantitative measurements tend to be much easier to collect and analyze than qualitative measurements. Oftentimes you can let it all run on autopilot, whereas doing good qualitative work always requires concentration, effort, and expertise.
