Only you can answer that. Aside from an advantage in getting upgraded, the major advantages of 75k over Gold are 4 lounge day passes, 125% bonus instead of 100% and 50K Alaska miles.
So do a cost/benefit analysis. How many of those 22K status miles will be pure mileage runs, and how many pushing you to do something you'd like to do anyway?
How much do you expect to fly on Alaska/Partner airlines in 2020?
