>> It's obviously nowhere near opus 5.5, but it's crossed the same threshold opus 4.5 did: it's good enough.

Good enough may be sufficient for personal projects, but in a competitive landscape where you're using a "good enough" model and your rivals are using a frontier model like Opus 5.5, you will be at a significant disadvantage.

In the competitive landscape, cost and not-getting-locked-down are also factors up for consideration.

Not necessarily. If yor process accounts for "all models make mistakes", you are probably limiting how autonomous the model can be, and then there's not much tangible difference between models beyond that threshold.
