I browse with JS on (but I block ads and most tracking scripts) and only use a separate browser profile with JS off for sites that look fishy.
Requiring JS for a web app or interactive features in a website is fine.
A few years ago I had to use an old PC for a while, and disabling JS by default improved my experience significantly, but too many websites simply didn't display any content without JS, or didn't load images. The "web apps vs. web pages" debate has been beaten to death, but being unable to e.g. read a blog post without enabling JS just feels wrong to me.
I'm not sure if things are as bad now.
