I haven't jailbroken my phones for a few years now as it seemed that apple added much of the functionality I used to jailbreak to get. What do those who jailbreak see as the most significant benefits these days?

I liked BiteSMS, SBSettings, 3G Unrestrictor (off the top of my head). While I know you can still customise things just the way you want with jailbreaking, I'm happy with most of what iOS 8/9 have provided built-in.
I do wish we could use things like Signal (or Cellmapper, etc) on native iOS though.

This app alone
http://www.remotemessages.com/
is worth jailbreaking for.
PdaNet for those occasions where there is no wifi (have used since my Treo days. A lifesaver when you need it)
CallBlocker
Clever Pin (remembers wifi passwords so don't have to re-logon to known networks)
Facebook ++ Allows the use of FB's in-app messaging
iCaughtU
iCleaner (wonderful tool for cleaning the debris that accumulates)
Revelation (lets me see my passwords instead of ***)
TypeStatus
WiCarrier
and just because

Just an fyi, the "semi-jailbreak" (installing Cydia only via stealth) methods detailed here

didn't work for me.

I think that those doing this using third party tools need to ask themselves whether the rewards are really worth the risks.

Pangu has a decent track record but as is always the case, YMMV. I'd wait to see what the community says before jb. POV

I would stand back with my 5S & wait too, especially now that the d/l site is under nasty DOS 
Meanwhile, on the Androids front, busy with MM 6.0 - running debloated & lean stock Rom, rooted with tweaks ... battery life improved & happy, keeping me busy & leaving Mrs L's iPad Mini alone too.

Again, fair point about risk, but I find it hard to want to imagine using my iPhone without a few of the essential (to me) Cydia apps.

I must have grabbed it this morning before that attack started.

Again - it is entirely up to you, you clearly feel those apps outweigh the risks that could be involved here.
