That said, if my Poppy weren't maxed, I'd probably pick this one up; can't let the waifu stay outdone by the 5/4 event girls.

Yeah, joining about a month before the Black Friday deals has likely thrown off my perspective. It's going to be hard to compare every upcoming deal to those.

I'm also not really interested in the blooms because I'm not a min/max type. I guess I'm a casual whale? Like, I'd gladly spend money on the tickets to get to pick and choose the girls on my teams. But spending real cash on 2% bonuses or extra equip slots seems like a waste to me. Maybe if the Ultimate events maps were a huge challenge I'd see the value, but I'm smoking through them with a 2-month old team. I'd also be more invested in blooms if there was a multiplayer competitive mode where you fought against other players, but I don't really mind having my team underperform a bit in battles against the AI.
