Depends what you mean by "come back." Are you implying coming back to your current play through with your current character? In that case I would say, no it's not worth coming back.
Mistlands is not a giant expansion in and of itself and will only be shortened further by a well geared and leveled character. The biomes only real content is hunting for mines while trying to avoid getting jumped. It's challenging until you get your bearings on what types of landmarks to look for and how to spot them.
However, if you're someone who is open to doing a fresh play through on a new character exploring a new world, then I think it's worth another go. I would go in with the intent to heavily specialize your character in one of the new weapon types or even an existing weapon type that you've never leveled heavily before. It gave me a new challenge and clear goal.
I set out with the intent that I would be a mage with a dark marble wizard tower that I built in the mistlands as my main base. This meant all other bases would just be temporary until I got to the new biome. it presented hurdles for me as i handicapped myself by only being able to take over an existing structure and turn it into a forward base as I moved into each biome. I had to carefully plan what I was going to craft and how many resources I would need to make the items it would take to safely navigate to the mistlands and roam the terrain.
It was a long journey, many deaths and a lot of hair pulling once I arrived at the mistlands. After about 10 hours I had hit enough mines to make my first workbench and 20 hours later I was well into becoming a powerful viking wizard. I found a perfect cove that became the grounds for my tower and another 30 hours later I had completed one of the coolest builds i've ever done. 180 hours into a new play through and I had become an unstoppable queen killing, fireball slinging, Gjall yeeting, magecap eating monster.
Why did I take the long way to answer your question? Because I wanted to explain where the heck my 180 hours went. If you're someone who likes to build narrative around your experiences then it's ALWAYS worth coming back to this game. If you enjoy all of the games aspects, as I do, you can easily lose track of time and no life binge Valheim. Hopefully there's another adventure in store for you soon viking!
