Just my 2 cents on this.

I still use POP3 (concurrently with IMAP) simply because I've
encountered on more than one occasion (maybe a software bug,
misunderstanding of what the option in software settings meant, or
some misclick accident) where Thunderbird implicitly cleared out the
older offline messages.

So while I know IMAP is supposed to be the right solution especially
for syncing sent emails, sometimes it just feels safer to have the
"wrong" solution as a backup too.
