Absolutely not. Plex gets shittier with every update. Their Android app is abaolute dogshit and as been for years. The amount of useless scope creep on their software is insane, and I have a feeling that pretty soon the entire software will be paywalled.
For me, it's worth it for the doubled bitrate over the PLEX proxy. I'll probably be moving out of my parents' home next year into an apartment complex, and can't guarantee that I'll be able to set up port forwarding on the ntwork.
Just use Cloudflared then, no need to port forward. Or use a VPN with port forwarding and a dynamic dns

As a music collector the lifetime subscription is worth it just for full access to Plexamp.
The Plex Pass unlocks hardware transcoding, which is a huge benefit alone. As others have said, it unlocks things like skip intro, credits detection, playing trailers before movies. It also unlocks the DVR feature, allowing you to attach an inexpensive antenna to your network and start recording over-the-air channels. It is very worth it.
Most benefits require both the server user and the end user to have Plex Pass.
Personally I prefer Emby or even Jellyfin over Plex.
That's not true. Only the server needs to have Plexpass to offer downloads and whatnot to regular user.
Does skip intro not require everyone to have pass? Yes it does, https://support.plex.tv/articles/skip-content/
Also app installs requiring either a 1time unlock per user or the end user to have plex pass? Yes it does
That's not "most" benefits. The most sought after benefits do not require plexpass.
Yeah home users get all the perks that the server owner gets.
If you download to your tablet, yes
