Is Phaser worth learning?

Well, there is a lot of pseudoscience in informatics associated with it. Loud claims about it increasing the productivity empirical studies repeatedly fail to confirm.

hmm, well I really don't know of any such claims or studies, and I also don't know about your coding experience with OOP, but from my personal experience, working with procedural code written by someone else is often a nightmare, and even coming back to your own code and trying to debug it after say a year is a real pain, especially if you do a lot of coding. Proper OOP code is much easier to work with and extend and thus at least in my experience, it does boost productivity. Also when working on games, it's much easier for me to think in terms of objects than functions, like enemyA can walk, and enemyB can walk and jump, so enemyB can just extend enemyA and add the jumping code, with procedural you'd end up doing pretty much the same thing though in a bit less organized manner.
