It is very much an endgame relevant stat, not early-midgame (up to like ummm, 120ish) where things like %spell damage will grant better results. Once you have 15k+ of a stat, it really means something.
So yeah, let's talk about 500str Force of Nature... let's talk about grass growing and paint drying.
Once you have 15k of a stat you will have it capped, it can definetly have an effect before you reach the cap for sure.
Besides, keep in mind it stacks multiplicatively with spell damage, so building just spell damage and forgoing stat synergy and ef/sf is a big waste of potential.
