If you can actually get it for free, definitely do it. In my experience, it's excellent in everything apart from super warm slush, and it hasn't stopped working on any of the skis I've used with it (over the past ~2 years). If I was only skiing on a few skis, I'd have all of them treated with Phantom, so if you can get it for free, why not?

Didn't this just come out last year from Kickstart? How have you had it?

Ah, got my year's mixed up. Phantom was announced in November, 2017 and we got some samples right when it was launched on Kickstarter so we've been using it for a little over 2 seasons, not three. That said, I've never had wax that really performs well after even a few weeks, so 2 years is still really impressive in my mind.

If you don't have speed on flats, it doesn't really help. Otherwise it's great.
