With 4K video I'm wondering if I should have gotten 256gb. Anyone else thinking the same? I still have 50gb free though.

I am getting 32gb. Ahahahahah
It all depends on what you do with the phone and how frequency you perform your backups. (I dont like to have tons of videos and photos on the phone, i regulary copy them to my backup harddrive)
And, i prefer 1080p 60fps to 4K. I know 4k has more quality, but i prefer the smoothness of the 60fps. Call me crazy.
Only my tv can reproduce 4K content.
That's the other thing. I'm sure most of us aren't going to want the 4K videos we take to end up in our iCloud photo libraries, or we're going to have to pay for the 2TB tier in no time.
Are there any good apps that can take 4K video and store it in a separate location that doesn't get backed up to iCloud? This way we can take as much 4K video as we want, transfer it to the computer, edit and maybe keep a lower resolution version in iCloud in the end.
Depends. Some apps (e.g. Plex) will let you do it.I got the 256 and will never in a million years fill it up. I guess it'll be nice for trips to have my entire iTunes movie library on my phone. Other than that, will never use it all. Probably should have gone for a giant iPad instead. On a semi-unrelated note, it would be awesome if I could stream from the phone to the iPad. That's not possible, is it?
I've never recorded a video in 4K anyway. I've had 128GB for 2 years running so I got it again. I pay for 200GB of iCloud storage and that takes care of all my photos and videos anyway and I can store all my music and videos on my phone.I similarly thought this...my first instinct was go big or go home as I'm a file hoarder and like things with me. I had the iPhone 6 Plus and had 128 as well. I had probably gotten as close to 12GB free but never in the single digits. It's wasn't until the release of the iPhone 7 Plus that I actually starting clearing out files and things just sitting there. It can be very easy to forget to Airdrop files over if you have a Mac/MacBook and I was guilty of that. In preparing for the new phone I cleared up 50GB+ of free space
Even with 4K video and Live Photos I think 128GB should suffice as long as you manage your files accordingly.
Why does it need to be in the cloud? Just grab an external HDD and store them there. Regardless of where you go, unless you're streaming on a local network 4k not going to be a good time.
