It sure explains a lot of the issues in the film.

I especially like the light switches - not there in her reality - there in reality - when she is imagining things there is Kool-Aid - not there in reality. Ditto the lamps and fireplace carpet. There and not there depending on whether it is imaginary or not. The non-plugged-in TV - she is watching a blank screen.

Her calling him Delbert Grady because she doesn't know his first name which is Charles Grady.

It also helps explains Jack's character and facial expressions in certain scenes and why you never really see affection by Danny towards his mother. He comes in with the bruised neck and glares at Wendy - she pulls him in for the hug but Danny is doesn't hug her - he seems terrified of her.

I enjoyed The Shining because I enjoy the horror genre but I agree this makes more sense for Kubrick than just a "guy goes nuts and tries to kill his family" story.
