I realise that Thom's Transparency plugin is v8 only, but are there any 'stand-out' issues addressed that offer genuine excitement.
Observer fixes. Being able to more reliably monitor the model.
And additions/fixes to being able to draw things in the viewport - better UIs.

Or is it a case of the issues addressed reduce your workload?
Yes. Less hacks and workarounds.
The thing is - there's lots of small improvements that adds up to a generally better environment to develop in.
Most plugins will continue to be backwards compatible, but there will be a few that benefits from having a newer SU. It works with the old, but maybe not as good.
Users of SU8M0 should absolutely upgrade to M1 as it fixes that cursed ray tracer bug which made many plugins act unreliable.
A bit hard to sell a single API feature to the end user - as the benefit for the end user is what the plugins do with that feature.
