Unless you're encrypting the root partition, I can't think of any use
of LVM that can't be done other ways. I view LVM as yet another layer
of abstraction and yet another way to lose your data.

I use just plain ext4, and "grow" my partitions by using bind mounts.

I use ext4 instead of ZFS for exactly the reason you state: I'm not
willing to make the mental and temporal investment.
