Yes. I totally would recommend a 2.1 setup using Infiniti/JBL/Klipsch reference speakers over a $300 sound bar with an array of 2" speakers.
Sound bars have a place - convenience, size, and aesthetics when wall mounted. But they have drawbacks versus other options.
I never said a center channel was useless. I picked a "what would I build for $300?" and stuck to that price point. Comparing a $500+ build to a $300 sound bar isn't really a fair fight.
Most content is stereo and doesn't even take advantage of that.
Most people don't have an ear stemming out of their forehead, leading to the need of a center channel being less than higher quality stereo. You can go on Alibaba and buy 100 budget speakers and it won't sound as good as two quality floor standing speakers.
You will have a better/more accurate frequency reproduction.
You have an upgrade path if you want to transition into a true 5.1/7.2/etc. setup.
