Data prioritization: I live in a semi-rural area, so the vast majority of the time this wasn't an issue. However, occasionally on weekends when people were home my phone data would slow to a crawl. Where it became untenable was during power outages (including lengthy ones during natural disasters). My phone data was literally useless. I couldn't even check the weather apps. This was my #1 reason for switching to an MVNO that included priority data.
Fees: US Mobile charges you the stated price, inclusive of taxes and fees. Mint's price was much higher than expected due to taxes and what seemed like extraneous fees.
So far I have much preferred US Mobile. Even though I have to use the Verizon network (slower data speeds) in order to get priority data, I haven't had any issues and it's still plenty fast. During the last major power outage I had zero issues with data. I plan to keep them when it comes time to renew.

If your T mobile connectivity is good where you use the phone, then yes.
If for calling international numbers you are ok loading credits and paying as you go. Basically you are not using WhatsApp or other VOIP messaging services to make these calls.
Mint required the following info to give me my account number for T-Mobile to port my #...
Full name, full address, last 4 of social, current phone number, sms/text verification code, and finally the middle two of social for some reason. About 2 hours later, I had my account #.
Everyone has different experiences with each carrier. In my area, Mint was wonderful. But I switched to Visible because of the $15/mo th for 5 year plan.
I'm switching back to Mint because Visible is way too slow for me. It took me ~3 mins to get things to load in all my apps (it's not a phone issue. Wifi works great).
My boost plan is due for renewal on March 1 2025 😔

Sadly it's the only thing I get from anyone
Not sure about on t-mobile's network, but on verizon's network moving one qci slot can make a huge difference. I went from a qci 9 plan to a qci 8 plan and the difference was night and day. My phone was a paperweight at times on the 9 plan, super frustrating.
Now, I'm not sure how big of a difference you'll notice on t-mobile's network. I like t-mobile, I think their network is way better/faster than verizon's, so maybe the difference would be less noticeable between a qci 7 mvno and a t-mobile plan at 6. If you were to ever have an issue, it'd be in a crowded area or time of day when the tower is busiest.

Enshittification continues. They were great for years, and mere months after getting acquired, start pulling stuff like this.
