I don't think Amandil made it to Valinor, but either do I think his mission was fruitless. I cannot help thinking it played a part in Elendil being spared. Earendil himself was both rewarded and punished, much like Elessar did with Beregond. Amandil may not have been allowed to reach Valinor and perished in the quest, but his petition to save at least some of the people of Numenor was granted.
