Wi-Fi Assit

My Wi-Fi is normally a good, fast and strong connection. I was wondering whether or not I should enable 'Wi-Fi Assist'? Is it worth it or just a waste of your 3G/4G?

If the first condition you state is true - then really it is of marginal value to you

Also I personally both that and background app refresh turned off - FWIW

I have this feature enabled and it is rarely used when connected to decent Wi-Fi. It comes in handy when the Wi-Fi suddenly becomes slow or unreliable and works pretty well (I live on a college campus, so this happens frequently). It does allow you to see how much data it has used (as shown below), so you can determine if it's a waste.
