Is copper cookware actually worth investing in?

I tend to cook the same kinds of things (fried steaks, etc, slow cook stews, casseroles, etc.) so I don’t use a lot of variety of cooking utensils. Mainly a good size frying pan, a large pot, a smaller pot, and a casserole dish. Casserole dish I have a Le Creuset or whatever for which is great so I don’t need a new one.

But given how I usually cook and what I need, is it worth thinking about copper? I know it’s a meme but I hear all this stuff about how it’s so great for cooking but I don’t know if that necessarily means it’ll be right for my way of cooking. The thing I probably cook the most are things like stews that I just leave on low heat for long periods so dunno if copper is conducive to things like that.
