No-follow links are needed to diversify your backlink profile. You should have both DF and NF links to balance things out and make your link profile look somewhat natural.
i think a niche relevant no-follow link should defintely be in your backlink profile. just like what others said about huffington post and wikipedia links, which are no-follow
with that said, take a look at this https://neilpatel.com/blog/links-building-google/ "From what it looks like, they tend to not count nofollow links. Based on the chart above, you can see that rankings did improve over time, but so did almost every other chart, including the control group.
But here’s what’s funny: the control group had a bigger percentage gain in keyword rankings even though no links were built.
Now, I am not saying that nofollow links hurt your rankings, instead, I am saying they have no impact."
although they do not pass on link juice they can help get traffic to your website but keep in mind that you need to have a mix of do follow and no follow links that could provide a good image about your website
Nofollow links don’t allow search engine bots to follow your links. These links don’t pass on link juice. Only people can follow these links. They don’t help you to boost Page Rank, website rankings and have no SEO value. It is a notice for search engine not to count a link.
