Agreed, the biggest advantages of Pipeline are:
the "eye-candy" (but who cares? :)
easy artifacts sharing across different steps, which run on
different nodes (but afaics you don't even use the "Copy Artifacts Plugin", which makes this argument pointless).
- the duration/sub-steps can be easily seen (as mentioned by Max), but
this can be achieved which some simple python scripts/plugins + influxDB + grafana as well.
I don't think that installing and maintaining 2 additional software packages + writing custom code is as easy as enabling plugin in jenkins and configuring it. Being able to immediately see how long each step in the pipeline took is not only eye-candy - it's a great hint as to where our potential optimization targets are.
Having said that, if similar visibility could be achieved without using pipeline than by all means - go for it.
