Are sending follow ups post interview ever worth it?

Having this debate with someone, applied an entry level analyst at mm, off cycle recruiting and given vague timeline on interview at end of final interview, told they still have 7 candidates to interview therefore he couldn't give me a timeline. Sent my thank you note a bit ago and three weeks have passed. is it worth asking for an update in this case or in general?

Is it ever worth sending follow up email asking for updates
