I have 94 FZR80 with 230k, I’ve only been putting super in it. Do most do this, or think the extra expense is worth it?

No need for high octane, unless you have a turbo and some spicy timing.
If you have a knock sensor the engine can use the higher octane. A high compression engine might require high octane. Unless the manufacturer calls for high octane, it does no good. What will help is top tier gas. The package of additives which is added to fuel as it leaves the depot does apparently clean to some extent. That's were I'd put the money.
I DD my 80.
About 15k per year.
When I run 87 octane of E-10, I find have slight performance issues in passing cars at 75 mph.
I normally run 89 octane of E-10 and I get good performance.
I still only get 11.5 mpg no matter what I do.
If I find 87 octane of non-ethanol, I can run that with no issues. I will if I have a choice between E-10 and non-e.
