You can do that just fine at 60 Hz, if there is no tearing (all screen updates appear during vertical sync).

You can read scrolling movie credits just fine at 24 FPS.

>You can read scrolling movie credits just fine at 24 FPS Honestly I actually struggle with that. But working and gaming at 60hz is still perfectly fine with me. I even purposely run my Valve Index VR headset at 90hz instead of 120hz because I don't need the extra frames

What do you mean you "don't need them"? The jump from 90hz to 120hz is huge. The jump from 60hz to 144hz is life changing.
