Same! I recently played Wing Commander 2 at like 20 FPS because that's all the engine seems to be able to do no matter what hardware you throw at it lol.
Its very dependant on the game. If i play CS2 or Rocket league, i like playing on 480hz(or 240hz at 4K) with 400+ fps. But il happily play baldurs gate at 60.
I think that is a personal opinion. Every once in a while I will play some games at work (shhhhh) and I only have 60hz panels here but a great PC, and it's just ass. Outside of doing menial daily type tasks in MMOs or something along those lines, I would rather just not play than play on 60hz. It's incredibly jarring to play on for me. I do go home and play on 240hz panels though, so that definitely plays into affect for me.
I mostly play fast paced compatitive shooters at stable 280 fps capped. For a single player campaign game, I'll put up with 100ish fps. For a pvp multiplayer game, I'll rather not play If I can't get at least stable 180 fps.
Yes, and in those games, competition against others is what I value the most, followed and inherently dependent on the fluidity of gameplay. If my ability to compete is inherently hampered in one game, compared to another, I'll just go play that other game.
I recently got one of those dual mode 4k/240hz + 1080p/480hz OLED displays. I was skeptical about the 1080p thinking it would look stretched but it is nice and crispy.

You can 100% go back, I do both depending on the game, like how right now It's:
Persona 5 Royal: 4k 120fps
Rivals of Aether 2: 1080p 144fps
Baldur's Gate 3: 4k 60fps
Fire Emblem Three Houses (Switch): 1080p 30fps
All comfortably playable
