Also if you pay off the mortgage let's say $2k/m then you are $2k/m better off after tax. Otoh if you rent and invest you need to make $2k/m after tax (so maybe $4k/m before tax, depending on where you live etc.) from the investment to be in the same position.

Yes! You can also do 1031 and things like that to defer taxes. And value adds by doing renos.
