What real benefits am i missing out on that outweigh the privacy aspects of not using it? Find my iPhone would seem to be an obvious benefit, but are there any others?

What privacy aspects are you referring to? iCloud is extremely secure unless you disable certain aspects of its security or choose to use a weak password.

I'm only using "find my iphone" myself. The rest is of dubious use to me.
