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.

Here's their conclusion for a quick TL;DR:
"So there you have it. While the Tramontina actually edges out the All-Clad as far as heat retention goes, the All-Clad is an all-around better performer. But is it worth paying three times as much for it? Not really. Only by using controlled quantitative tests could I find any difference at all in how the pans perform. Even then, the differences were minimal. If money is absolutely no object, go ahead and buy the All-Clad. For the rest of us, the Tramontina set should do just fine."
I don't have this exact pot but I've been using Tramontina stainless steel pots and pans and they've been great. Haven't had any issues for their tri-ply line.
I would stay away from this because of that.
So, it depends on how many for dinner.
And leftover pasta is like leftover chilli. Always better.

I also have the 8 quart All Clad try-ply stockpot/strainer(did they stop selling the tall version? I have the tall version and all I can find is this multipot stuff online now) and my biggest problem with comparing it to this Tramontina 8 quart stockpot is the holes are much, much larger on the strainer of the Tramontina than my All Clad one. You really want to have tinier holes in these things. I boiled a whole chicken in my All Clad yesterday and I did not even have to strain the liquid again after I lifted the strainer with the chicken out. Just went right to cooking down liquid into a beautiful concentrated broth.
