I still have a sizable CD collection, and most have not been imported yet. I also subscribe to Apple Music, so I'm wondering if there would be any value in importing CD's using the lossless codec? Hypothetically it would be best in case Apple Music does not have a CD I happen to own, but in the case of the other albums, would there be a reason I should consider importing my CD's in the lossless format since it's become available?

I would only take the time and effort to import the CDs in utilizing the LossLess codec if Apple Music does not have a particular album/CD in LossLess. This is because you will not be gaining anything with a LossLess CD import vs getting LossLess streams from Apple Music.

Douglas,
One more thing to consider: If you rip the CD you will get tracks that can be played without a subscription, and can be used outside the Apple ecosystem. Up to you whether this is important.
importing you get to keep the physical copies no matter what if you subscribe, unsubscribe, etc.
