This issue is brought up frequently around crypto and I’m actually more in Wilson's camp on this. Also, it matters what it can replace. My view on crypto is that Bitcoin is like gold. So, we should then compare the overall environmental impact of Bitcoins electrical usage versus the environmental impact of digging Gold out of the ground. It isn't a simple trade-off, and in the end I believe we can drive electricity efficiently more than mining for example.
