I don't regret doing WGU, it's an accredited school, it opened some doors for me, it's relatively cheap, it's a good investment. I do have some issues with the curriculum; for example, there's two classes on "business of IT" stuff, but no classes on distributed/concurrent programming or (more worryingly) linear algebra. I think the latter is much more of an issue; a ton of jobs in the compsci world really necessitate a working knowledge of linear algebra (at least enough to call a CUDA library), so the fact that they don't teach any math after Discrete Math II is a bad thing (enough to where I wrote a letter to their staff complaining about it). I do think that an issue with the competency-based systems is that they do kind of incentivize you to half-ass your way through the degree. An 80% is the same thing as a 100% in regards to your GPA, so I felt like I would very often learn just enough to pass a class and move on. For me, as someone with almost a decade of experience and a somewhat autodidactical nature, I don't think that's bad since I already have a fairly good understanding of compsci, but I do worry that a newbie might not leave with an great understanding of some fairly vital information. I'm doing a masters degree in Data Analytics now from WGU, and since I know almost nothing about that subject, I've been fighting every urge to do "turbo mode" for it, since I actually want to learn the subject matter.
