Probably. I think it's always nice to have an understanding of what's going on behind the scenes; this book more describes the circuits that make up the sensor and iot devices, for example.
You can make practical devices by learning an EDA tool like KiCad, get familiar with how to choose parts, and get a feel for how to quickly/effectively extract the info you need from datasheets for various part classes.
If you are looking to design those parts, you need the skills in this book.
