We already know they have been absolutely worthwhile to date. We've lived with very occasional lockdowns, and apart from that life has been normal for most people (apart from those in hospo, overseas tourism etc.), and there have been negligible death or serious illness from COVID-19.

That's not to say the same equation holds true from here on in. Constant revaluation is required.

Maybe if you didn't live in Victoria. For Victorians, last year was anything but life as normal.

Still much less lockdown and fewer deaths than e.g. the UK. On the whole it think the cost was worth it, both in lives and economically
