I test drove one with it, and ordered without it. It does feel light (not in the bad way) but I 'assume' i would have preffered linear feel as in my BMW f10 without servotronic.

IMO, anyone buying pretty much regular model Carreras (991/991s), should not really looking for race breed porches such as gt3 and up anyway. I believe comfort should be considered as one of the reason instead, that's why psp being an option of preferences.

BMW's active steering which is totally different from PSP. PSP does not vary the ratio based on speed....

This is from the Porsche web site,

Power steering Plus, the comfort-enhancing power-steering system, is available as an option for the 911 Carrera models. At high speeds, the steering is as firm extreme precision while steering comfort remains as high. At low speeds, the steering ratio of Power steering Plus adjusts for much easier maneuvering and parking.

I've owned a 3 series with BMW's Active Steering and it is similar in that at low speeds it adjusts the steering ratio (front wheels only similar to PSP). Now in some BMW models, active steering includes steering the rear wheels as well.

For a track car I don't have an opinion, for an "everyday driver" I say go for it.
