Advantages to rooting in 2024?

Beyond de-bloating, what are the advantages to rooting our Onyx devices these days? Netguard, Adguard, Cloudflare, and others have significantly expanded our non-root security options. Am I missing out on functionality by not rooting?

Your insight is much appreciated.

Rooting (with or without Magisk) allows you to remove some warts.
Onyx does goofy things with fonts, look at /system/etc/fonts.xml
You can add custom keylayouts where they belong, in /system/usr/keylayout
You can bypass the Onyx short/long keypress processing in /system/framework/framework.jar
You can customize sleep/shutdown images in /system/media
