is checking backlinks in google search still worth the effort?

Been trying to check backlinks in google search for a client site and getting nowhere fast. A brand new site with almost no links, for context. How long before you'd expect to see anything? Any help appreciated.

not in google search itself, the old link: operator doesn't work anymore. the free option is the Links report in search console - top linking sites, top linked pages, and you can export it. that's what google actually knows about. paid tools show more, but it's their crawl, not google's.
