It's the same as with all the other "machines" out there, really. Some very good books, many mediocre, some even outright bad.
All my subjective taste of course.
But you're right, one can trust him that he finishes and that has its merits too.

Updike was probably the best writer in the modern era to have used that method. Sanderson generally has some interesting concepts but his characters are pretty simplistic, and he puts an extreme emphasis on "systematic worldbuilding," to the detriment of their plot. His style is really starting to show its limits in the Stormlight books, which are very long, which have some neat scenes, but which are also in incredible need of an editor.
