When they added the feature to iOS all those years ago, my approach was turn it off for everything and wherever I notice an experience I wanted to be improved and could be by turning background app refresh back on, I would do it for that one app.
I have never turned it on for any app. I assume this helps my battery life.
I do wonder what I may be missing out on, but nothing obvious so I keep it off.
