I would have used it but I'm too attached to my "real" cell # and my GVoice # as separate numbers. I give them out to different people for different purposes.

Agreed. My Google Voice number is my default for handing out, and I reserve my real # for important things. I just wish you could block numbers using Google Voice.

This ish right here. I saw a workaround being opening a new google account and using that for Fi

Switching your cell number to Google Fi doesn't preclude using Google Voice. They're unrelated services, and you can transfer your existing cell number to Fi.

"Whichever option you choose, once you activate Google Fi service on your phone, you’ll no longer have Google Voice on the Google Account you use with Google Fi. "

So it does. In fact, I had to make that choice when I signed up, but it took this reminder for the memory to surface. It's a stupid policy.

It does, actually. When you sign up for Fi, you have to use your Google Voice number or lose it. The only way to keep both would be to transfer your normal # to a VoIP service that forwards to your Voice (now Fi) number.
