I don't mind the maintenance. Fork / shock refresh 1/yr has been plenty sufficient. Suspension set up for street has no bob - I run low-speed compression damping 1 click from locked out, I can stand & hammer on the bike w/no fork movement. The suspension is effectively locked out but for sharp impacts.
If you lock it out, you gain nothing subtle large tires on a rigid bike would do for comfort. But my bike weighs 15 pounds less.
To each their own. But your use proves that a commuter is better without suspension.
