The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.
You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.
You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.
You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.
