It is still a useful tool against spammers though? What's preventing spammers to check their user page to see if they're not banned, and then creating a new account? Doesn't most spammers by now have something to bypass shadowbans, and doesn't shadowbans only inconvenience real users?

Given that the comment/post timer applies to new, unverified accounts, and there is the subreddit filter that can be set to high in subs, it's more of a hassle creating a new account for spam purposes than you think.
Sure it's a workaround but it's an annoying one for spammers.
