As sourced from here, the mempool registered a total of 613K+ transactions today, with a slight increase of average transaction cost in recent days from around 6 to 15 sats/vB.



Do people think this high usage is good or bad for Bitcoin? Are there still many inscriptions being made on the network or is this more financial transactions?

Although I prefer the mempool priced around 4-6 sats/vB, I'm also happy being patient if not urgent, like most network users it seems.

No, this is not how Bitcoin was designed to work. Damn ordinals/inscriptions spammers are back! Legit transactions (coins transferred from one wallet to another for financial purposes) make up only a tiny % of total transactions, so there is a huge space to grow (but only if spam transactions are eliminated).
