Sigma 24-70 Dust Issue! Repair & Cautionary Tale

I was recently the victim of the dreaded Sigma 24-70 f2.8 internal dust issue. It's also my ONLY native lens for my new Sony FX3. After scouring reddit and dpreview message boards, it seems like many of these lenses are prone to having dust collect INSIDE the lens. If the fix is permanent, is it worth getting this lens still?

Some videos shot on the Sigma 24-70 f2.8 you may enjoy:
