I can't say it's NOT worth it. I've been on the developer betas for some time now, currently on the dev 26.1 beta. Aside from an initial impact on battery in the first day or so when I installed it, things have been fine. Haven't noticed any slow downs or problems.
That said, my iPhone is primarily use for calls, texts, email and some light web browsing.

my only concern is i need to replace the battery but at 100$ to replace it im kinda wanting to wait till im forced to upgrade to a newer phone
I don't see why you need to upgrade if you don't want to, especially right now. I have a 6th gen iPad on iOS 17 that has no issues with apps. So, if you're on iOS 18 you're good for a while still.
I upgraded an iPhone SE2 to iOS 26 (A13 same as iPhone 11). There's some noticeable slowdown and stutters but it's usable.
The SE2 is just a guinea pig so it doesn't matter but if it had been my main device, I'd just stick to iOS 18. App support wouldn't be an issue for a while yet. You can always upgrade later if needed but downgrading is not an option.
