I hike quite a bit( co-lead a backpacking group ) it's very unusual to go more than ~5 nights without resupply for almost any thru hike (think even TC level) even then most have several nero zero days in addition. I've never had pack weight issues hold me back from hiking longer, it's always work, boredom, how bad I smell, and missing my family that keeps me from staying out longer.
I've found MOST of the people that are super gram counters are the weekend warrior backpackers that go out <5x a year, super out of shape, and have money to spend on the best equipment out there and use pack weight as a bragging point posting on forums etc. I always know when someone new shows up and they are bragging about their dry weight of 12lbs or whatever in the parking lot they will be the first people needing to stop and catch their breath. People often will put the time in to research things but rarely put the time in to train for them in my experience.
Let me be clear I am not advocating you go out and pack 50lbs of gear, but the difference in 3-4lbs if that gives you a lot more luxury/comfort is work it to me.
HYOH if you want to hike 5 miles a day and do single overnights you are still backpacking and if you enjoy yourself who the eff cares what others think. I personally LOVE those types of trips as well, building a camp fire and bringing in my luxury items like a napping hammock and lightweight camp chair etc it's great.

The Jetboil form factor is also good for getting the water to temp quickly. Sometimes folks carry additional wind screens to help- but this is more weight. Finally, consider interoperability with other pots/skillets you might want to take along.
