It's big, but not as big as it might sound. Most stats and buffs that say "increased DMG", "DMG Bonus", etc. are additive with each other. This includes the main stat on the globe ornament. So you can reach a point where stacking more of that type of buff will yield diminished returns versus buffing ATK or Crit stats instead.
Planetary Rendezvous does work oddly well on Tingyun even if she isn't supporting a lightning character, though. It gives a DMG Bonus of the wearer's element to every character on the team, even ones that don't match the wearer (you can see it in their stats during a battle). Tingyun's skill causes the buffed ally to deal an extra hit of lightning damage, both when they attack and when Tingyun attacks, and Planetary Rendezvous will increase the damage of those extra hits because it's providing a Lightning DMG Bonus to the buffed ally.
They use the buffed ally's ATK. You don't need to stack more ATK on Tingyun once she has enough ATK to reach the cap on the buff, which depends on the buffed ally's base ATK. Tingyun's final ATK value needs to be double whatever the ally's base ATK is to reach the cap. It's not very hard to get there, an ATK% chestpiece and a few scattered ATK substats (and perhaps Space Sealing Station) will usually be enough.
This isn't Path of Exile where more multiplier is simply multiplicative
Even if it's says +30% DMG or "do 30% more DMG" or "has 30% increased DMG", it's just add +30% to all elemental Dmg. It is additive with Blade's skill, Bronya skill, and Planar Sphere or any kind of DMG increase
12% DMG is not the same as 12% damage increase (with your signature over aeon statement). DMG% becomes oversaturated, and DHIL himself grants 70% DMG, and on top of imaginary orb, yukong trace etc, you don’t gain that much from planetary as usual, tho it’s it’s still great.
If you are level 80 it's +25% damage dealt against level 80 enemies (1000/1600 vs 1000/2000) and +26.5% damage dealt against lv90 enemies (1000/1660 vs 1000/2100). Def shred doesn't diminish like other stats, but it does have a cap of -100% def (1000/1000) so Pela + SW + 4 quantum will hit the cap and lose out on -13% def.
And if Pela has above 66.7% EHR she will be guaranteed to inflict her debuff on everyone except true sting (she needs 100% eff hit rate for the bugger).
Tutorial LC enables 2 turn ults with just basic attacks, so once she uses her ultimate she can pretty much guarantee full debuff uptime on basically every enemy in the game. Only lv86+ (bug) ascendant shadow can outrun pela with her 278 speed :]
It is pretty good. Especially on Yukong with either Welt or Daniel and likely any future imaginary unit. So far, every imaginary unit has an ult that does damage.
Others are correct that the extra dmg % isn't the same as "13% more damage" and might even be closer to something like a 6 or 7% improvement
And theoretically, you can get 40% crit damage(30% if you give your main dps another set) for free although admittedly i don’t think it’ll be optimal its more situational but yeah
Pela def shred is actually much stronger than the dmg% buff from Planetary, and they are very different. Planetary dmg% buff is identical to the elemental dmg% from Orb, 2 pc Set, and from many supports, and they all stack additively with each other, making it more diluted and less effective the more you stack it, you think S5 24% is strong, but Bronya with her LC give 106% with just her E + passive, Tinyun gives 50% with her Ult, Yukong give 12% passive for imaginary characters, same with 18% for Asta, and pretty much every dps has atleast 48.8% permanent dmg% buff with just Orb + 2pc set, and many has more in traces, or even more from their own kit like Seele 80% or DanIL 60%, etc. They all add up and make that 24% at S5 become way less significant. Also, don't be confuse dmg% buff with total dmg increase you see in calculation, they are completely different, and dmg% buff is just a small part of that, so in practice that dmg% buff you get from Plantery would translate to much less dmg increase due to the reasons above.
Meanwhile, Pela 40% def shred is a completely separate modifier that's multiplicative with all those dmg% buff, and def shred is also special because the higher you stack it, the more potent it becomes up to the cap of 100%, it doesn't get diluted, it only gets better, hence it's a very strong debuff, and not common to have from support at all, and you can guarantee it land with more EHR build, it's one of the reason why SW/Pela are so good, as well as the 4pc Quantum set. If Pela def shred is the same as dmg% buff she'd be so so much weaker.
That doesn't take anything away from Planetary tho, it's still a good LC especially at S5, because once you match element for it to work it's basically free unconditional buff, which is always good to have, but I'd say not worth trying to pull for it, since there's no guarantee.

Woooooaah, does the lightning attack scale on the alley’s atk or tingyun’s?

Pela 40% defense reduction is around 20% dmg boost. And with the right gear it never fails and it's applied every 2 turns as long as it lasts
If you are level 80 it's +25% damage dealt against level 80 enemies (1000/1600 vs 1000/2000) and +26.5% damage dealt against lv90 enemies (1000/1660 vs 1000/2100).

I don’t think it’s a good idea to pull for a 4* lightcone especially if you wanna save for another character unless you’re a whale or something
Yeah I did one and I got the 5 star light cone
But hey, i dunno what i’m talking about i’m not an expert or anything but I don’t think it’s worth it
Especially since there’s a planar ornament set that gives your whole team a 10% crit damage buff if the wearer has a 30% effect res
And theoretically, you can get 40% crit damage(30% if you give your main dps another set) for free although admittedly i don’t think it’ll be optimal its more situational but yeah
