I can make a good carbonara by just draining into another container, but the insert means I'm ready to temper the egg the second the pasta is done, which improves the outcome enough that I notice. It also lets me make bone broth with far less hassle for the straining.
So, yes, the insert is useful, and stainless steel is a must. Aluminum is usually too thin, and far too soft. Ceramic coated pots may claim whatever they want, I've yet to see one that didn't eventually chip, and to date, only the ones that are cast iron didn't turn out to be pot metal even when they advertised otherwise. Flourine based non stick materials are a disaster in every respect, as convenient as they might be when new.
... three ply is decent, and some cookware from this brand is good, but they also produce (or maybe license) some awful stuff.

This is best understood as an 8 quart stainless steel stockpot with a pasta and steamer insert, useful for pasta, soup, chili, whole chicken, and frozen vegetables. The insert helps with starch water for sauces, easier straining, and faster steaming, and the size is handy for bigger batches. The tri ply base heats well enough for induction, but the bonded base design draws concern for uneven heating, and the strainer holes are larger than some prefer. Build quality and Chinese manufacture also raise hesitation, so it feels like a practical budget pot with a few tradeoffs.

Yes. It functions mainly as an 8-quart stockpot with a steaming/pasta basket, which is useful for pasta, soup, chili, frozen vegetables, and boiling a whole chicken. The insert also makes straining easier and can improve pasta sauces by letting you move straight from boiling to tempering or draining broth.
The insert is useful for draining pasta while keeping starch-infused water available for sauces, and it makes it easier to temper eggs for carbonara right after the pasta finishes. It also simplifies straining bone broth and other liquids.
The base is bonded tri-ply only on the bottom, not clad throughout, so it can overheat at the base and distribute heat less evenly than fully clad cookware. That design is the main reason some shoppers avoid it, even though others still find it usable for everyday stockpot tasks.
This Costco version is made in China, while the Tramontina cookware made in Brazil is considered higher quality by shoppers in the thread. That origin difference is enough for some buyers to return it and stick with the Brazil-made line.
It works on induction and heats properly, and at about $30 it is hard to beat for a steamer basket or stockpot. The Costco return policy also makes it a low-risk buy if you want to try it.

The $100 OXO set counts its steamer insert as 2/4 pieces, and the $30 Amazon Basics doesn't come with one. Both non-clad with domed glass lids. I assume the discoloration complaints are from people with gas stoves, or people who spend more time looking at their pots than cooking with them.

Just because you can cook using a couple of methods (with or without the basket) does not mean it is a multicooker to me either. Still beats the stupid name of the "possible cooker" on the front page.

One thing I found out using stainless steel is to never add salt to the water until the liquid is at a boil.
Otherwise, it can discolor the bottom by etching and/or pitting the finish. It happened to me on a cheap stock pot I got from Macy's. It doesn't affect cooking, just ugly inside now. Very minor pitting.
I don't know if that goes for all stainless pots and pans, or certain grades of SS. But I saw it mentioned after I did that, and it explained it.
