I'm not sure about abs, as that is my opinion. You should never be in a position to need abs. But things happen.
On my bike, I brake in the way I have been taught, and with the shiteness of brakes/tyres/surfaces I have got it wrong... a lot. Would abs have saved me...no idea.
Tho I have had a greater issues with target fixation and tiredness.

Yes, fantastic idea for everyday use.
Not on track and it’s good to learn the limits of braking without abs. But then it’s also good to learn the limits of braking with abs too. Basically we should all practice braking hard more.
A skilled rider can normally out brake ABS but an average rider in a panic will benefit from it in most situations.
Panic braking mid corner because you ran out of judgement, skill or conviction is the only major exception.
