Personally, the biggest benefit I get from LSPs is just proactively letting me know compiler errors before running the compiler (and I miss this working in extremely dynamic situations, like macro-heavy lisps). I definitely would side-eye someone who willingly eschewed that. But the rest of your points are well stated from my perspective

Yeah I use LSPs in vim and this is where I've landed.

Really great for quickly showing you errors and providing passive feedback. I also autocorrect linter errors on save.

But everything else about how I do work is basically unchanged; I haven't found autocomplete to be worth it.
