LyonSyonII IVPN and Mullvad are good and generally recommended, Mullvad VPN pairs well with Mullvad Browser which is an official fork of the Tor Browser developed by the Tor Project.
I sometimes use mine for certain tasks, but I agree that the benefit in terms of privacy is quite small, it's no even longer an absolute necessity on public wifi.
Let's just say that a trusted VPN should be part of a wider plan and should be part of a set of tools, on its own it doesn't do much.
