I don't fly too much but barely enough to make MVP.
What interested me is the waived change fee/cancellation fee.
How helpful is this benefit? Is is worth burning $1000 to earn MVPG?
Companion F upgrades would be great but im not sure if there are no 2 upgrades available, the list would give a lower preference to me with companion?

You answered your own question. If you don't travel much then no it is not worth it to spend $1000 for status you will barely use. Are you going to cancel more than 9 flights this year to get the credit back? If not, then paying $1000 on the off chance you might want to save the $125 change fee makes no sense.
