The six-seater is really cool, but I understand it's not for everyone. Having said that, It's more versatile than people give it credit for.
For what it's worth, my Model X Plaid is my second six-seat Model X. My first was a 2019 P100D, which I unloaded for my 2022. This configuration has served me well, and from my perspective, I've never felt like the configuration was a compromise. Mind you, I'm not a "camp in my car" type of guy (although the HVAC feature for sleeping in the car seems nice), and definitely won't be hauling sheets of plywood in the premium interior of this beast.
I take a lot of long-distance road trips. I live in San Francisco, and also have property in Palm Springs, and prefer to drive between them (~500 miles each way) for long weekends, etc., and we often take another couple with us. The six seat config is perfect for that. The second-row mono-post captains seats are more comfortable / supportive than bench seats (for a long road trip), and I use the space between them for a powered fridge where I keep cold drinks and snacks. Storage has never been a problem (luggage for four people). I keep the third row seats folded down, and that space provides plenty of room for most large items. I combine that with the under-floor storage in the trunk, and the ample room in the frunk (which can accommodate items as large as roll-aboard luggage), and I've never wanted for more space.
