The World's First 20-Hour Airline Flight

I have a rule - I don’t fly long haul economy for an employer, ever. Premium Economy is the minimum tolerable, and if it’s more than once a quarter, I only fly business. No exceptions.

I also agree that Premium Economy is the "minimum tolerable" - it's still not exactly pleasant for long haul, but at least you have enough space to be relatively comfortable. Sleeping is still pretty difficult though.

I have the same Premium Economy rule nowadays, but I now have the luxury of being able to do that; earlier in my career, I didn't.

I’m fine with economy in Europe, YMMV

But yes, it’s about how often you fly. Once or twice a year on a midhaul day flight like Uk to east coast or Mid East in a good economy plane (qatar a350 for example) is fine. flying 30 times a year then just say no. It’s not worth the damage to your health.
