In a sense, yeah. The benefits are there, but this game employs so many square roots in their formula and thus many things get diminishing returns at higher number.

But benefits are still benefits and they help you to win.

The benefit with the most impact from 'marriage' is the sortie cost reduction since 15% reduction (especially on big eaters like Yamato) is huge.

Then there are stuff like Reinforcement Expansion, straight up buying resources, buying screws, Repair Team/Goddess...

Even Ship Slot Expansion IS a P2W, masked behind "This game is about C.O.L.L.E.C.T.I.O.N!". Think for a moment and you'll realise Ship Slot Expansion belongs to P2W.
