This is an interesting topic for me as well, even though I seem to be going into the opposite direction from the OP: deciding on whether to finally get out of vinyl replay completely.
I started buying records ca. 2001 or so, I never built up a huge collection and now own about 150, of those are ca. 50 I keep for sentimental reasons, as I also own a CD copy or download of those records. I recently got rid of my low level LP12, but I still own a Technics 1200 mk2.
Most of the current/recent stuff I listen to via Tidal (currently streaming Laura Gibson) I wouldn't dream of buying on vinyl, mainly because of the price, but also because of the sometimes dubious quality of the vinyl and the fact that
those recordings started out in digital form anyway - all reasons others have already stated.
That's not to say that a modern recording on vinyl can sound better than its digital counterpart - if the mastering on the former is better than on the latter this will certainly be the case. But it seems a bit arse-about-face to me to cling on to an antiquated format with many inherent problems (EOS anyone?), just because people elsewhere f*** it up.
Now, that's not to say that I don't/didn't enjoy playing records* and have heard them sound spectacular, either in my own rig or elsewhere at shows or at dealers.
However I increasingly have problems justifying paying lots of money to playback only certain genres I listen to on vinyl where *to me* it makes sense buying them in that format (jazz, latin from the 60ies to early 80ies), particularly if digital playback competes for the same funds.
I currently enjoy my pretty minimalist system (see my sig), which component-wise is so small I can actually put it on my bookshelf and have long XLR cables going to my active speakers, and find it increasingly difficult t go back to the traditional HiFi altar between the speakers**. So, things don't look good for vinyl playback here.
Long rambling story short: to the OP, proceed with caution in your particular situation. However for someone who has already built up a huge collection over decades, obviously things are very different.
*OK, granted, coming home from a particularly stressful day and
shutting down everything with a screen and an internet connection and just listening to records does have something almost catharthic to it.
**OK, granted, a small, slightly irrational part of me still thinks it's
kind of cool.
