I've chosen to wear kneepads every (off-road mtb, not gravel) ride and although I don't crash very often, it's saved me on those times, several of which took me completely by surprise.
And as you note, they are so comfortable nowadays it isn't a big deal.
Although I get some irritation from the silicone 'gripper' bands on several different pairs of pads.
