Simply put, their khaganates shape the geolocation, culture, and dominant beliefs of Turkic peoples. As a huge nomadic power in the early Central Asia, they established the common core cultural characteristics of Asian nomads,

Göktürks Khaganate is more influential to 20th and 21th Turkish people rather than Medieval Turk khaganates and people. For instance, there is no Ottoman source referring to Göktürks and Huns but there is tons of Ottoman sources referring to Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, Seljuks. Seljuk Empire are more influential than Göktürks as well. People make comments history according to what they learned from high school. Real history is different.

the medieval Uyghurs and Khazars also received much of their legacy as the successor to Gokturk khanates.

It is not true, Uyghurs are earlier than Göktürks. Uygurs are most ancient Turk tribe. Khazars mentioned in 450s contemporary to Göktürks.

. In warfare, they made the Sogdians submit, which meant they mastered the Silk Road, and had many interactions with the Tang Dynasty and the Sassanid Empire, especially the former, their people launched a rebellion that could rewrite Chinese history.

Military and political power is importance of Göktürk Khaganate but they didn’t influence other kingdoms as much a Khazars and Uyghurs. It can’t be told a Russian and Caucasus history without mentioning Khazars. Uyghurs also influenced Mongol Khaganate and its successors.
