I have since moved my addresses to native segwit. I thought about this, and the main reason for doing so, was privacy, since most addresses being used on network are bc1q. Therefore I feel that I fit into the crowd better, vs using 1- legacy addresses stand out.
If it’s about privacy, then just using Native segwit  doesn’t guarantee your privacy[don’t get me wrong..as I’m not against segwit ], Privacy has to do with the way you move your coin and declare your addresses.. With segwit you have cheaper transaction fees anyways which can help you save some sats when you want to do any future consolidation of UTXOs( since you said you’re used to doing that )
