I used to not like NFs. and I normally don’t like using bags with open tops but the clasp feature helps and that I carry it under my arm. I also did buy a zip top bag organizer that makes my items feel more secure. I am not sure what you mean by a standard insert?
I only buy seasonal or limited neverfull prints so the thought that Should I regret it, I can never get back the same print again deters me. I just pull them out to use periodically. They make me happy.
I have a GM and I got a samorga insert that made it so much more organized. I prefer it as a work bag to carry my laptop, if I do have to go to the office - still working from home here.
My husband got me a mono MM when I had my last baby (she'll be 15 this August). I rarely wear it, but when I do, I get so many compliments on it. It's definitely been a workhorse of a bag- I guess I keep it for sentimental reasons. It's also a good travel tote. I did get a DA MM last spring and I love the look of it in DA.
I bought the Empreinte in black and DE in GM. I carry my GM daily for work but sold the Empreinte as I didn’t carry it except during the weekend.
I have 2 GM (DA and personalized mono) bought about 10-12 years ago. First used as baby bag, now sometime work tote but mostly perfect for travel. I plan on passing them to my daughters.
I have a Neverfull MM monogram with pivoine interior. I have put it up for sale twice and then removed it. The main thing that made me keep it was the resale value is generally not great on Neverfulls, I think this is because they are easy to come by and a lot of used ones are actually quite 'used' looking. Mine is only 8 months old and great condition so I probably wanted too much for it but to lower the price would have made me annoyed with myself so I kept it. I do use it and will continue to, I just could've got by without it hence why I was going to sell.
I find the preloved ones to be mostly overpriced. In the UK a Neverfull MM is £1180 from LV. You could sell the pouch for £200-250 making the bag itself £930-980. Newish used ones are priced around £800-900 and older used ones anything from £500-800. IMO these prices are not worth it when you can have a brand new one for a little more. Particularly when you have to factor in potential fraud/fakes/misdescribed etc.
I have had my Mono MM Neverfull with Cerise (Cherry) interior for about 8 yrs now. I haven’t used mine for at least 5 yrs as my preferences for bag have changed (once I have discovered that I actually don’t mind crossbody bags, a whole new world has opened up to me then and there 
).
Though I don’t really use it, I wouldn’t sell my Neverfull for a few reasons: my preferences for everyday bag might change yet again; every once in a while one needs a big bag (be it for travel or a road trip); if I regret selling, I wouldn’t want to re-purchase it at a current price; I like the thicker feel of canvas on my 8 yr old Neverfull ; and ,though it might sound silly, but , as an honourable mention - my Neverfull was MIF and nowadays one can seldom find in Canada a canvas or/and lower tier piece MIF.
