I've grown it for the last two years. Last year the yield was low but enough to give me enough material to plant a bit more this year. I now have three healthy looking plants which I hope to harvest just before the first frost. So I don't yet know how substantial the tubers will be.
I don't recall any slug damage last year but generally I'd say the jury is out as to whether the yield justifies the effort (which isn't great) and the space taken.

I grew it in 2014, started it in pots then planted out, did quite well
and I had 2 buckets of tubers from 5 plants, last year I split it up and
planted out 2 40 ft rows, but didn't pot start any, poor growth so I
left it in, around 30% survived the winter, but it's really struggled
this year probably to our very wet and cool summer(?)
I'll lift the survivors this winter and pot grow before planting next year.
No great slug damage even when sitting in the buckets in the glasshouse.
