LDL has always been both a worthwhile measure and target. It's not perfect as a measure - it doesn't account for Lp(a), for example, and why ApoB is a better indicator for the atherogenic particles portion of the equation - but we know that lowering LDL lowers the risks of ASCVD and results in better health outcomes. I've linked quite a few studies over the comments here backing this up with huge quantities of data points.
