In companies that aren't completely pathological, HR complaints often will eventually oust a toxic manager. But sadly the key word is 'eventually'. It will usually take sacrificing multiple employees and/or the leaving feedback of many others to build enough of a track record or evidence for them to finally take action. Complaining to HR probably won't help you, but it could be part of what eventually helps someone. Often not worth it compared to finding another job though.
