I started thinking about it because I thought going to 1x would be simpler for me. I was leaving the front chainring on the highest gear for a long time before I ever heard about cross chaining. Once I was looking at options I was thinking it might be worth getting a full set of nicer parts since I'm commuting every day but I wasn't sure what the benefit would be. Reading comments now makes it seem like it's not going to change much for me as everything I have still works fine. Maybe I'll see if I can just change the chainring
I think you got a good handle on it
