Do you get aspects of the Wolf statblock? It doesn't actually specify.
Even if you do, doesn't it lack scalability and become of negligible utility as soon as you're out of the very first levels?
Is it just a cosmetic transformation?
In that case, it's a strict downgrade, as you lose your equipment's benefits and your AC becomes 10+dex, but you don't gain any new abilities or benefits to speed, offence, senses etc.
Wolves aren't exactly inconspicuous to humanoids, so scouting or using the form as a disguise is only really viable in wilderness regions, where the party will likely want to stick together most of the time.
So what's the point of the gift besides lycanthrope flavour?
I'd really want it to be useful, but don't know where to start in homebrewing it, as I don't understand its current state's intention.
