Keep in mind that bigger models are coming. And to use all features of even the current SD version, you need a lot of VRAM - 12GB for textual inversion (making it learn your own style), 30GB+ for Dreambooth (sort of micro-finetuning that doesn't need a GPU farm and a huge tagged dataset), a lot for img2img on a high-res picture. It also massively benefits from the large amount of compute cores.
Right now, the bigger and faster, the better. And there's really no limit of the computing power you can throw at various tasks to make them run better. It almost looks like 90s again.
