Long-term istat menus user here too, for the same reasons. I've found and removed so much crap through the years because I could notice it. I've fixed so many dumb issues because I could see it was doing absurd amounts of pointless, unexpected work. And for istat menus specifically: it's super stable and they're extremely fast to support new OSes, unlike many fancy menubar apps. Easily worth the money for me.
