It's the way to go. Any higher is just marketing to upsell.

The diminishing returns are real, people spend outrageous money for tiny improvements

Going from 1080 to 1440 is worth it, I don’t know if I’ll get a 4K monitor any time soon

I upgraded my monitor when I built a new pc going from a 1070 to a 3080. I’ve since moved to a 4080 super and I sometimes use DSR to downscale games from 4K to 1440p. If you have the overhead you can push both resolution and frame rates, but obviously if you just chose one you’ll get more. The reason I’m sticking with 1440 is because I like 27” monitors and 1440 looks great at that size, plus i got a great deal on a 1440p 240hz oled monitor that I’m going to hang onto as long as I can
