I use a suppressor on almost all of my centerfire rifles for both hunting and shooting. Also for rimfire. You mentioned the two biggest benefits, add being able to spot you shots through your scope.
When I first started shooting suppressed I did all kinds of tests for accuracy, velocity and POI shift with and without it attached. Then I forgot all about the results because I never shoot unsuppressed if I have the ability.
If you have the means, buy the two or three suppressors you'll need to cover all of your shooting, all at one time. Do the paperwork and forget about it while you're waiting. When all the paperwork clears, you're good to go and you only had to go through the wait time once.
