For non esports stuff, do you think high refresh rate monitors, 144Hz for example, make sense?

The difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS is titanic. Does that carry over to higher than 60 FPS or do you get diminishing returns?

depends. high refresh rate is great if you play fast moving games. The difference is pretty much “same” as 30->60 when going from 60 to 120, for example. After seeing something at eg. 120 fps, “60 feels like 30, kinda” - just a personal observation.

For turn based 4x games, isometric rpg’s etc, probably won’t make much of a difference.

FPS, racing, etc fast? yea, it’s great.

edit: if you’re a movie enthusiast, 144 Hz screen might make sense if you watch a lot of stuff which is 24 fps. As 144 (and 120, for that matter) divide evenly with 24, making the tiny judder go away compared to 60 Hz screen.
