I've got a few projects on the list which will be battery powered. I'm thinking of using 18650s just because of how ubiquitous they are, but I know there's other options out there. Are they worth it?

  • E-ink calendar
  • Solder fume extractor
  • Lora station
  • Portable "trail camera"
  • Home assistant remote controls Etc etc etc

Yes, they are still good to use. There are also a number of other sizes of cylindrical lithium ion cells available if an 18650 won't fit.
