They are generally better devices, but, I would only suggest moving up if the old device is failing. Or, there is a specific feature you want.
I can see upgrading from any of the earlier 6.8" devices to the Libra 2 might make sense. There are enough differences that would make it desirable. But, at the same time, those who haven't upgraded from an Aura HD or H2O, are probably not wanting this because of the buttons and shape.
After the Elipsa, the features in the Sage and Libra 2 make sense to me. The change to USB-C is overdue. And while I personally don't want audiobook, I can see it makes sense. I assume it will be added to the Elispa, but, we will see.
Having said all that, there will be a Sage coming here for my wife to replace her Forma. She listens to audiobooks, and has bought some from Kobo, so it makes sense for her. And she will be happy with a USB-C connector. The question is whether I will stick with the hand-me-down Forma, or get a Sage for myself. I'll probably use the Forma for a while and see what's next.

The upgrade from a Glo to a Clara is definitely significant; same with the jump from the Aura HD to H20. Carta was a big step up.
Jealous of your soon to be inherited Forma.
I have a feeling Im going to be learning how to jailbreak a kindle, which is something Id hoped to avoid. On the plus side, I like kindles hardware better.
