The 50mb limit no longer exists, it's much higher now https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198133#c15

Safari will delete your cached data if your app goes unused for a little while though. Native apps may do the same thing though... at least on Android I get notifications about it deleting cached data for native apps I haven't used recently.

If the app is added to the home screen, then it is exempted from having it's data wiped after 7 days without usage.

And good docs on storage quotas on different browsers.

I think there's also benefits of using persistent storage

That's nice, thanks for correcting me! Although it's quite a nuisance that most PWA info I looked for before posting had the old 50mb (mis)information.
