I've literally never had a need to disable SIP. About the only reason you could possibly need to is if you're doing particularly weird kernel driver development, and I'm not sure that's needed even then.

I think the most common cited reason to disable it that I've seen is the ability to attach a debugger to any program, even those using the hardened runtime, which isn't something I've needed thus far.

That’s not true, debugging system components is an important use case.
