The rule of thumb is that if you live in a hilly area, regen is worth having (and it can help extend brake life). If your region is mostly flat, maybe not. That said, I just like having it, regardless of the terrain. With properly configured regen you can almost have a one-pedal car, needing the brakes only for the last few feet of a stop, and to hold the car while waiting for the light.
