I can't speak for WMR controllers, but I've heard that the upgrade in tracking quality is enough, especially if you play shooters or beat saber where tracking accuracy matters.

The index headset is quite good, and I find it's is worth using it over my CV1, even with the worse controllers. That being said, if you're deciding between rift S and index, I still don't think the index is $600 better, though I'm comparing the CV1 which isn't quite the same. One downside of the index headset is that it's like 3x as heavy as the CV1, which makes it less comfy. Screen quality and audio quality make up for it generally though.
