I’ve heard in many places that I should learn to write kanji and their use in vocabulary instead of stuff like readings. Is this true? Is that stuff actually useful or would you be wasting your time learning it?

I would say learning to write is important. Stroke order is standardized and because of that (and just culture in general), there are specific normal ways people take shortcuts when writing quickly. Knowing how to write makes these intuitive and makes reading handwritten and stylized kanji easier.
