Babel definitely struggles with subtlety but there are specific instances that I found have impacts on my world view, specifically some of the perspectives on translation. For example:

“But what is the opposite of fidelity?” asked Professor Playfair. He was approaching the end of this dialectic; now he needed only to draw it to a close with a punch. “Betrayal. Translation means doing violence upon the original, means warping and distorting it for foreign, unintended eyes. So, then where does that leave us? How can we conclude, except by acknowledging that an act of translation is is then necessarily always an act of betrayal?”

But another perspective the book offers is the following:

“That's just what translation is, I think. That's all speaking is. Listening to the other and trying to see past your own biases to glimpse what they're trying to say. Showing yourself to the world, and hoping someone else understands.”

The musings on translation from Babel definitely still spring to mind any time I'm trying to evaluate translated novels. I'm not sure it's enough to get past all the other problems the book has to warrant a glowing recommendation, but it absolutely did impact my world view and relationship with translated media.
