Yes, very much so. As long as you have Nintendo Online.
There's a whole single player portion with 100 Nintendo-created levels to go through. Then you have 'Endless Challenge' which throws levels at you and sees how many you can complete before getting a game over (you choose the difficulty) and has a ranking. There's also online multiplayer -- including un-ranked co-operative and ranked competitive. Competitive online 2D Mario is actually really fun, I've probably spent the second most amount of time there (after Creating). There are lots of unlockable costumes for your 'Mii' from these modes as well. Of course, there's also just playing other people's levels from the various lists and finding them online. There are global leaderboards for all of this.
So yes, as long as you have online there is endless content. If you don't have online, it wouldn't be worth it for just the Story Mode, as even though the levels are excellent you can burn through them pretty fast. If you're a Mario fan though, this is absolutely an essential game, maybe even moreso than Odyssey.
