Sims absolutely work. They can teach you proper (and sometimes improper) habits, and can teach you the tracks. Pilots and Astronauts use sims; why shouldn't drivers?
I've coached some GT Academy drivers, and they learn spectacularly quickly, and they effectively have a lot of "sim" time. One of the guys had never actually set foot on track before my first day with him; he was 100% GT learned.

And GT is an arcade game
They would be even better with an actual sim like iRacing.
I learned everything with sims. I have teammates with the exact same level than me (in sim or karting for example) that won national championship IRL after learning only with sims.
The most difficult part for a simracer is usually rev matching and motion sickness.
